[Rd] R-forge, package dependencies

[Paul Gilbert]

I'm surprised this works on Windows and Mac, since RMonetDB does not 
seem to be on CRAN. I thought it was still a requirement that 
dependencies need to be on CRAN (which makes development difficult for 
related packages like this).

A related long standing request is that R-forge checking look for 
required newer versions on R-forge rather than just on CRAN. Does anyone 
know if that works on Windows and/or Mac?
