Hi,

Wouldn't it be awesome if package.skeleton() could be used to
produce, well... a package skeleton? In a fresh R session:

  > package.skeleton("mypkg")
  Error in !have : invalid argument type

This (not very informative) error message seems to occur because
I'm trying to create a skeleton with no flesh on it:

  > foo <- function() {}
  > package.skeleton("mypkg")
  Creating directories ...
  Creating DESCRIPTION ...
  Creating NAMESPACE ...
  Creating Read-and-delete-me ...
  Saving functions and data ...
  Making help files ...
  Done.
  Further steps are described in './mypkg/Read-and-delete-me'.

A package with nothing defined in it is still a valid package.

Thanks,
H.
