There is however, a small problem with installing the HTML documention in a
private (i.e. not RHOME/library) location. The file

RHOME/doc/html/packages.html

linking the main documention to the packages is written (BTW this will

fail if the package owner and the R owner are not the same) but the links in

are not quite correct. For me the link indicated in that file is

<A HREF="../../library/dse/html/00Index.html">
which would be RHOME/library/dse/html/00Index.html, but it should be
<A HREF="{package_location}/dse/html/00Index.html">

It SHOULD contain only functions in RHOME/library, as this file serves
only as a default fallback. The complete list should be built at
runtime (using all in .lib.loc) and this works for me. However, there
is a problem if installing as root (or whoever is allowed to write to
RHOME) to someplace different than RHOME ... I'll dig into that
tomorrow (I've got to leave in 10 minutes).
