[Rd] Post processing need for installing packages in rpms.

Hello,
I maintain some packages in Fedora Extras for R related modules.
Until R 2.2.0 I used for post processing (both after installing and
removing the package) the following lines:
%{_bindir}/R CMD perl %{_libdir}/R/share/perl/build-help.pl --htmllists
cat %{_libdir}/R/library/*/CONTENTS > %{_libdir}/R/doc/html/search/index.txt
Typically %{_bindir} is /usr/bin and %{_libdir} is /usr/lib or
/usr/lib64
The purpose of those lines is to enable the access to the module
documentation from R help. The first refers to html and the second to the
text help variant.
With R 2.2.0 build-help.pl no longer has the --htmllists option. Is
there any easy replacement, or is there any other method to achieve the same
results?
FWIW, I have searched trough the release notes as well as through the
documentation for sys admins and for package developers without any
success.
Best regards,
