[R] Rdversion ???

[Bill Dunlap]

tools:::prepare2_Rd contains the lines
    ## FIXME: we no longer make any use of \Rdversion
    version <- which(sections == "\\Rdversion")
    if (length(version) > 1L)
        stopRd(Rd[[version[2L]]], Rdfile,
               "Only one \\Rdversion declaration is allowed")
so I am guessing you can ignore any \Rdversion declarations.
