userData

The package-specific user data base directory is the sub-directory R-data/,
located in the user's home or within a diredctory defined by global option 'userData.path'.
If in interactive mode, and the base directory does not exist yet,
the user is asked if it should be created in his home directory.
Otherwise, or if the user does not allow the creation in his home, this directory is created
in the current R session's temporary 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.

Note that directories -- and files -- under the base directory are not automatically
created. The user should therefore care of it in the caller function if necessary.
If <code>create=TRUE</code>, then the base directory is forced to be created in the user's home directory.
If <code>create=FALSE</code>, then the base directory is never created.
