[R] Unsuccessful in reproducing README file in package build .zip and R library installed package folder

[Uwe Ligges]

[Going through some old and from what I see unanswered messages

See Writing R Extensions: The contents of subdirectory ./inst will be 
copied to top level during package installation (i.e. also for making 
binary packages).

Best wishes,
Uwe Ligges
