Package manuals.

When I create a manual for a package that I create and use locally,
e.g. via

	R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf foo

where ``foo'' is the name of the directory containing the source for
the package (also named ``foo'') the resulting manual does not appear
to have an index.

The package.pdf files appearing on CRAN all seem to have indices.  What must
I do to get an index appended to the package?  Is there some modification
needed to the ``R CMD Rd2dvi'' incantation, or do I need to proceed in
a different manner entirely?  I looked for an answer in ``Writing R 
Extensions''
but could not see one.

I also notice an unimportant but mysterious difference in the manual titles.
The manuals I produce locally (via R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf foo) have titles of
the form `` Package `foo' ''.  Those on CRAN seem to have titles of the
from `` The foo Package''.  What induces this difference?
