Currently Makefiles for vignettes are only supported for .tex files. Could
the tools package be modified to allow file extensions to be specified for
a vignette engine? Having the pandoc pdf conversion in a Makefile rather
than through R would be tidier in some cases.
If I specify my vignette engine as
```
tools::vignetteEngine(
'myengine',
pattern = '\\.[Rr](md|nw)$',
output = c('md', 'tex'),
...
)
```
the `tools:::find_vignette_product` function could have
`if (final) c("pdf", "html") else unique(c("pdf", "html", "tex",
engine$output))`
that's probably the only line that would need changing.
