[Rd] modification time warning with R CMD check

[David Kane <David Kane]

I often get warnings like the following when running R CMD check

[...]
* checking for code/documentation mismatches ... OK
* checking tests ...
make: *** Warning: File `Makevars' has modification time in the future (2001-11-13 12:54:37.381546042 > 2001-11-13 12:54:37.314975985)
[...]

I am ready to believe that this is not a bug (i.e., that the timing on my
various machines and file systems is such that I am creating a Makevars with a
modification that is 0.07 seconds in the future from the perspective of the
machine that Perl is running on). However, I would think that a
warning would only be justified if this were far enough (1 second? 5 seconds?)
in the future to be "interesting".

I am running 1.3.1 on Solaris

mica|tmp> R --version
R 1.3.1 (2001-08-31).
