[R] Unbundling gregmisc (was: loading gap package)

I have one comment, although it is a little off topic.
I have the gregmisc package installed (R-2.0.1 on Win2000). Whenever I use
the help.search function it comes back with the following warning:
Warning message:
no Rd contents for package 'gregmisc' in 'C:/local/R/rw210/library' in:
help.search("bundle")
Apparently, the help.search function looks for the CONTENTS file in the
.../library/gregmisc directory. I created an empty one and the warning
went away. I know it is purely cosmetic, but if the gregmisc bundle is
kept intact, and I think it should, I would suggest adding the empty
CONTENTS file to its distribution.
Perhaps there is a better way of handling this. For example, VR is a
bundle but it does not create its VR directory in .../library.

[R] Unbundling gregmisc (was:
loading gap package)
Let me redirect the topic a bit. I've been considering unbundling
gregmisc.
The pro would be that people would find the component packages (i.e. gdata)
more easily. The con is that the packages have a number of
interdependencies, so you pretty much will need to get most of them anyway.
As the latest gregmisc bundle contains a gregmisc package that is just a
stub that depends on and loads the individual packages, there would still
be
a gregmisc object.
Comments?
