By the way, will it be a big change to allow the user to give the name 
of a directories instead of a file ? The following code :
code_file=c("dir1\file1.r","dir1\file2.r","dir1\file3.r")

willl become :

code_file=c("dir1\")

Then, reconizing that dir1\ is a directories, skeleton.package will 
include all the file that are in the directorie ?
