[Rd] vignette checking woes

[Roger Koenker]

Thierry,

I have this:

if (require(MatrixModels) && require(Matrix)) {
      X <- model.Matrix(Terms, m, contrasts, sparse = TRUE)

in my function rqss()  I've tried variants of requireNamespace too without success.
If I understand properly model.Matrix is from MatrixModels but it calls 
sparse.model.matrix which is part of Matrix, and it is the latter function that I'm
not finding.  Maybe I should go back to the requireNamespace strategy again?

Roger
