Which is fine for manual processing and when done once or twice, but
somewhat less helpful for automatic processing in scripts since the
name of the temporary directory is hard to predict.

`R CMD check foo' copies already unconditionally the foo-manual.log
file from the temporary directory to the foo.Rcheck directory; and the
foo-manual.tex file is copied if an error occurs during processing.
What is the problem with also copying the foo-manual.tex file
unconditionally to foo.Rcheck?

Cheers,
