[R] howto test a package without installation

[Joshua Wiley]

Hi Jonas,

Look at Hadley Wickham's devtools package.  It is designed with this
sort of thing.  That said, it really is not too difficult to install
as long as you have a working tool chain (which you will need to test
it anyway).

R CMD INSTALL /tmp/sitools
R
require(sitools)
and away you go testing

Cheers,

Josh
