[R] Validating R after it has been installed!

[Andrew Perrin]

Just a thought: presumably the test routine works by running a series of
calculations on known data, then comparing the results of these
calculations to the known-correct results. There's no reason you couldn't
produce such a test suite, tuned specifically for the analyses you do, and
run it yourself.

Hope this helps-
