 Before knitr became an accepted engine for vignettes, I had a
knitr-generated vignette that I included in a package.  It could just as
easily have been a Word file saved as a pdf.  There was some trick to doing
this (which I have forgotten).  Something like creating an extremely
minimal .rnw file and then including the vignette with the same name and a
.pdf extension.  Search the R-help mail archives and you can find other
people who have included non-.rnw vignettes.
