For a data set that are available on the web, one can write a function
to download it. This can be done either because of license issues or
because the database changes, and you might like to get the latest
version. One example is fda::readHMD. The Ecfun package contains many
other examples.
Thank you all very much for your (extremely) prompt reply.
If datasets' authors won't agree on releasing their data under GPL, I'll
follow G. Grothendieck suggestion and build a ad-hoc data-package.
Thanks,
Gionata.

If that is the case then you could put your data files in a separate
