[R-pkg-devel] How and where do I document sysdata.rda

I want to put a look-up table into sysdata.rda to avoid having to 
compute it everytime. At the moment I create it and save the resulting 
file and then manually copy it to sysdata.rda. This works but the 
package now contains no documentation about the look-up table.

Most of the information which I turned up online involves doing it all 
indirectly using various packages. I do not want to do that, I am quite 
happy editing files by hand and moving them to where I want them by 
hand. So what I need is to know where I should put the documentation and 
what format it should be assuming it is not an Rd file.

Of course what I want may be impossible and I just need to document it 
in the script which creates it but that seems messy.
