[BioC] adding a package Vignette to the Vignettes menu when loading package

[Robert Gentleman]

Hi Ana,
   That depends on whether your package will have a name space or not. 
If you look at the R extensions manual it gives a bit of guidance on the 
differences between loading and attaching when name spaces are involved.

   If you do not have a name space (no NAMESPACE file) then you should 
put it in a function named .First.lib, see the relevant manual page for 
specific details.

   If you do have a name space then you should put it in either (but not 
both)
   .onLoad, or .onAttach depending on whether you want users to see your 
vignette when the package is loaded, or only when it is attached. 
Probably the latter is most appropriate. You might also consider putting 
something in .onUnload to take it off the menu if/when the package is un 
loaded.

   Best wishes,
     Robert
