Actually, I started using Cairo because ADaCGH2 ought to be able to run in
headless servers without X11 and Cairo seems suited for that ("Files are created
without the dependence on X11"). I also think I remember that some colleagues
that have Macs reported problems with graphics that were removed when using
Cairo (because of the creation of pngs under forking and/or MPI).

Sure. But it was the best way I could find to include footnotes in tables.

Yes, but we often want BOTH the pdf and the Rnw (so users have access to the
original code).

I do not need it, but if I don't include it, my recollection is that the
index.html that was automatically generated did not include links to the PDF,
source, and code of the two vignettes (which I think is due to the long.Rnw not
having been processed).
Best,
R.
