[R-pkg-devel] Is it possible to reverse engineer a package from the installed library directory ?

Several years ago I assembled some of my own most used code into a package,
and had that installed on my machine.  Since then I have lost the source
files, but still have the package installed in an old v2.x R installation.

I now need to use the package in my current R install, which is v3.1, and
won't let me just copy the directory across, as it complains it was build
pre v3.  Is it possible to reverse engineer a package back to R source
files so I can then rebuild it in a new package ?

Thanks

Paul.
