find_devpackage

Development packages are looked-up according to rules
defined in a file <code>.Rpackages</code> in the user's home directory.

Provides some low-level utilities to use for package
development. It currently provides managers for multiple package specific
options and registries, vignette, unit test and bibtex related utilities.
It serves as a base package for packages like 'NMF', 'RcppOctave', 'doRNG', and
as an incubator package for other general purposes utilities, that will
eventually be packaged separately.
It is still under heavy development and changes in the interface(s) are
more than likely to happen.
