[R] Test suites

[Liaw, Andy]

Perhaps the best way to do this is to make up an R package.  The "Writing R
Extensions" manual has discussions on how to set up test codes.  There are
also examples in some packages that shipped with R itself.  Look in the
`check' subdirectory of packages under .../R-1.6.2/src/library.
