Suppose one wanted to build an R wizard for packaging...

One would need to specify and create:
        package-name/
        package-name/Description
        package-name/INDEX
        package-name/R/
        package-name/man/
        package-name/src/

>From this, we'd "probably" like to:
- script-up the Description
- provide a script for regenerating INDEX by calling out to the shell
- provide a dummy/sample package-name/R/zzz.R file with a .First.lib()
- ??

thoughts?  (Sometimes, spending serious time with JDE suggests definite
improvements...)

best,
-tony
