Just to 'clean up' the week, a summary about my 'RFC' :
The reactions I got (not all went thru R-devel):
1) perl is ok (--> new 'R doc/man' format by Fritz Leisch & Kurt Hornik ...)
2) GNU make is not really ok.
Some people like to use their vendor's make rather than GNU's
[I myself have changed this behavior a few years ago;
here, we all PATH such that GNU's make comes BEFORE Sun's make ..]
==> I'll try not to rely on GNU make at all.
[[Actually I haven't done too much yet,
just created an etc/Makefile and
moved things from $RHOME/Makefile there..]]
