Okay, now I understand.  I think I'd call the last of those a bug, and
it would seem to me that the install and check scripts should also
respect this directive.   I've now copied this to the r-bugs list.
(This was reported for Windows; I don't know if it applies to other
platforms as well.)

Just for clarification:  I can see you would use this when you have
S-PLUS code in the same directory as R code, and you don't want to
include that in an R build.  Are there other files that must be
excluded?
