Hi Paul --

R CMD check --help

shows a number of options to enhance this process, for instance
--no-vignettes --no-examples (similar options to R CMD INSTALL can
greatly speed up the install cycle during package development).

Within R, tools::checkRd and other functions are useful, e.g.,

  library(tools)
  checkRd("RCytoscape/man/CytoscapeConnection.Rd")
