Just move vignette sources to :/vignettes in your package?

For 2, I have been confused by ./vignettes vs ./inst/doc since
./vignettes was introduced. I might be able to figure it out by
try-and-err but I never tried, and I'm still sticking to ./inst/doc.
At least you can exclude the Rnw source in .Rbuildignore so that R can
only stare at your PDF documents and sigh.

For 3, I remember some of us requested that R could also respect
entries of non-Sweave vignettes (like the ones in ./demo/00Index), but
this is not possible as far as I know. However, I can tell you a dark
voodoo seems to be still working: you can write your own index.html
under ./inst/doc with your own links to vignettes.

1. I get a WARNING from CMD check for "Package vignette(s) without
corresponding PDF:
  In this case the vignettes directory had both the pdf and Rnw; do I need to
move the pdf to inst/doc?

   I'm reluctant to add the pdf to the svn source on Rforge, per the usual
rule that a code management system should not have both a primary source and
a object dervived from it under version control.  However, if this is the
suggested norm I could do so.

2. Close reading of the paragraph about vignette sources shows the following
-- I think?  If I have a vignette that should not be rebuilt by "check" or
"BUILD" I should put the .Rnw source and pdf in /inst/doc, and have the
others that should be rebuilt in /vignettes.  This would include any that
use "private R packages, screen snapshots, ...", or in my case one that
takes just a little short of forever to run.

3. Do these unprocessed package also contribute to the index via
\VignetteIndexEntry lines, or will I need to create a custom index?
