[Rd] markdown vignette with the vignette command

[Leo Lahti]

I followed the instructions in
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/knitr/vignettes/knitr-markdown.html

   - add *.Rmd files under the vignettes directory
   - add VignetteBuilder: knitr to the DESCRIPTION file
   - specify the vignette engine \VignetteEngine{knitr::knitr} in the Rmd
   files (inside HTML comments)
