[Bioc-devel] R source code files of package vignettes

[Patrick Aboyoun]

Joern,
The Stangle mechanism is relatively new to the build process and I don't 
remember the sequence of events that take place. After the BioC 2009 
conference, I'll take a look into this. I'm hesitant to put too much 
time into making the build system much smarter than it is for the 
Stangle operation, because it is a rare request. Perhaps we can work out 
a file extension tag that would be achieve what you are looking for.
