Hi,

I believe this is kind of a long standing bug though. In R-3.0.1, but this also happened in previous versions, the long version '--outdir' is not recognised:

For `R CMD check --outdir=mydir pkg_0.1.tar.gz` we get:
Warning: unknown option ‘--outdir=mydir’

But with `R CMD check -o mydir pkg_0.1.tar.gz` we get:
* using log directory ‘/home/renaud/Documents/projects/mydir/pkg.Rcheck’
...

which works perfectly fine, and puts pkg.Rcheck in 'mydir'.

I don't know how long standing it was, but as I said, it is purely a documentation bug. The name of the option is --output, not --outdir.
