[Rd] R devel [and R 2.14.1 patched]: R CMD build now sources ~/.Rprofile

[Henrik Bengtsson]

I'd like to follow up on this one.  It may be that I have
misunderstood something, but on both R devel (2012-02-22 r58452) and R
2.14.1 patched (2012-02-18 r58394) I can't seem to avoid loading
~/.Rprofile when I run 'R CMD <cmd>', e.g. R CMD build.  For me, the
loading of ~/.Rprofile by 'R CMD' started a few weeks ago, and I
haven't seen it before.  More details below.  It seems incorrect that
for instance 'R CMD check' should load the users ~/.Rprofile file by
default.  Is this a bug or intended?
