[Bioc-devel] Vignettes and package size

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

Also, if your issue is the size (and not runtime) of the vignette files,
chances are that this could be fixed.  Whatever you produce manually as
pdf, you should be able to get using the build system.  Do you have code
somewhere (Github? elsewhere?).
