[Rd] help with revdepcheck

[Hadley Wickham]

Hmmm, in general you shouldn't need to build the binaries when you can just
download them from CRAN. So I'd start by figuring out why that's not
happening? Is your version of R out of date? Or has one of your reverse
dependencies just been submitted to CRAN and thus doesn't have a binary yet?
