One of the potential gotchas with the current Suggests and R CMD check
setup is that developers cannot easily test whether or not their package
behaves well (e.g. the examples fail gracefully) when packages listed
in Suggests are not available.

As a package developer, I'd like easy ways to check my package under
the "everything is there" scenario and under the "only the minimum
requirements are available" scenario.
