Rprofile.site and check/build (PR#2872)

How's this a bug?  It only make sense to run "check" and "build" on source
packages, but things like R_LIBS points to where *binary* packages are
install.

Hi,

Apparently R-1.7.0 (and possibly earlier versions too) do 
not care much about what is in $R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site
when calling 'R CMD check' or 'R CMD build'. This
is annoying when having libraries (packages) in alternative locations.

Cheers,

Laurent

R CMD check is going to run an installed version, and that may use other 
packages.  However, these tools have always used --vanilla, and see
?Startup for why that works as stated below.

So this works as intended, checking on a vanilla system.  That's not a 
bug, and definitely not a recent change.

...and in the case of package dependancies ?

...and what about building the 'vignette' ?

That's currently an open problem I intend to fix for 1.8
