No! {We have been here before, and I had explained before that}
this is really undesired: ".Rbuildignore" should contain what is
ignored by build, but not by "check".
It does make sense to have extra code and / or checks for 'R CMD check'
that I as package developer want to run, but that are
-- too time consuming
-- too platform specific
-- ......
to be run during the daily checks on CRAN (e.g.) /
to be run by others at all.
{And BTW, AFAIK, 'Rcmd' is now `somewhat deprecated' in favor
of "R CMD" since the latter is portable }
