Thanks Bill, but this is 'build'. It is intended that INSTALL will be an
R script in R 2.9.0 (actually, we intended it for 2.8.0 but ran out of
time).
Our recommendation is to install from a tarball, except perhaps during
package development. So read-only package dirs are not an issue.

result in files not being excluded

It was pretty easy for me to get these line endings -- I
created the file in GNU Emacs under Windows, and rsync'ed the
package directory to a Ubuntu Linux machine. I went back and
checked, and GNU Emacs under Ubuntu did show (DOS) in the
status line of the buffer, but I never noticed that while I
was trying to figure out why my .Rbuildignore file wasn't
having any effect. (I think I preferred it when Emacs would
show ^M at the end of each line in a CRLF file -- not showing
that is what I meant by "hiding it from me".)
In the Splus package system INSTALL copies the whole package
directory to a temp directory before doing any other processing.
If it sees a 'text' file, as determined by the perl -T (or ! -B) file
test operators, the copied file will have local line endings.
We don't use cygwin in the Splus package system, so what the local
line ending is is clear. (Copying the entire directory also means
we can run INSTALL on a read-only package directory and we don't
leave around *.o or *.obj files that R CMD INSTALL won't like).
