Yes, Sylvain, you were right (in the other thread
       "R CMD check does not recognize S4 functions ...")
that your problem is very similar to Giles Hooker's one.

You both need to learn more about namespaces.

As help for you (and other readers),
I append a "fixed up" version (1.0-1) of your test package.

I hope this helps,
Martin Maechler
