I wonder if "R CMD check ... " could abort with an error message if it is applied to a binary package?
I am not sure how simple that is. It used to be hard to tell source and binary packages apart. What we can do is to test for Built: in the DESCRIPTION file, which will cope with people who have built the package recently. The trouble with idiot-proofing is anticipating the idiot: as far as I am aware this is a first. In all other cases I tried the INSTALL part of R CMD check failed.
