library() help for Windows

I have just upgraded R v1.5.0 to v1.6.1 for Windows but have trouble

loading my library of R only functions (no C calls).  After examining
the "library" script this difference was found:

[...]

Did you read the NEWS file?  Quite a bit has changed in that 3-version
upgrade.

How do I modify my library of functions to load it properly like

previous versions do?  Why v1.6.1 checks for "DESCRIPTIONS"?

To load it properly (and you were not loading it properly before)  you
need to follow the instructions in `Writing R Extensions' about how to
create a package, and then on how to install it.

These days R relies on properly constructed packages, and it does now
check for this.  For ages packages have been required to have a
DESCRIPTION file.
