[Rd] "R CMD Sweave --driver=..." woes
In trying to change the driver used by Sweave on the command line using
R CMD Sweave --driver=foo
I consistently get the "directory 'foo' does not exist' error. (For any value
of 'foo', even the default 'RweaveLatex'.)
Looking up the source code for function .Sweave that is called by 'R CMD
Sweave', I notice that the argument 'driver', if used, is added to the vector
of arguments of ''buildVignette' without being named. It ends up being passed
to argument 'dir', hence rhe error.
I believe the simple patch below should fix the issue, but I wasn't able to
test it.
Hope this helps.

[Rd] Adding RtangleRuncode and RtangleFinish to exports of utils
Hi,
Could R-Core consider adding 'RtangleRuncode' and 'RtangleFinish' to the
exports of utils. Their weave equivalent 'makeRweaveLatexCodeRunner' and
'RweaveLatexFinish' are exported, as well as the other tangle utility
functions 'RtangleSetup' and 'RtangleWritedoc'.
The rationale is not just symmetry. ;-)
I'm finishing a small package that will provide "enhanced" drivers for Sweave
that are heavily based on the standard RweaveLatex and Rtangle drivers. So much
so that I can reuse most of the utiity functions called by RweaveLatex() and
Rtangle(). Now, 'RtangleRuncode' and 'RtangleFinish' are not exported and 'R
CMD check' really does not like that I use the ::: operator to reach the
functions.
The alternative is to duplicate the code verbatim in my package. This does not
seem very sensible, especially since I would then need to track any changes to
the aforementioned functions to remain in line.
Here is the proposed patch against the current r-devel tree:
