[Rd] How to create vignette.pdf for R-2.13.0?

Dear Uwe,

This is my development cycle:

First, I run R CMD check until there are no more warnings/errors. Since 
years it was very convenient that R CMD check builds the pdf-files of 
the vignettes, too, since this allowed me to correct errors in the 
manual files and the vignette files at the same time!

Afterwards I run R CMD INSTALL to install my package and do more tests 
until everything works.

As you see I do not use R CMD build, since every run takes about 5 
minutes, it overwrites my zipped source code, and I would need to unzip 
it to get access to the vignette pdf-files.

Best regards
Christian
