Please do not give advice on the R lists on how to cheat the R check process (unless there is really good reason for it), it's not like we implement the tests just for the fun of bothering developers. Simply compare installing and automatically updating a couple of hundred R packages on all major computing platforms to installing the same number (OK, there aren't nearly as many) S toolboxes from Statlib in Splus and you may get an idea why enforced standards may not be so bad after all ... We have already discussed several times on this list that a) "vignette" is a reserved name for documents where - the user can both read a version in PDF format and get a handle on the code in electronic form - R CMD check can test all R code contained in the document, such that the user can rely on the code being up to date b) we currently have only infrastructure for doing a) for documents in Sweave format c) you can put documents in other formats into inst/doc, but these may not call themselves vignettes. d) I have already offered to provide a better indexing infrastructure for documents from c) for R 2.4, but that is a summer project. Most of the above is explained in "Writing R Extensions".
