You don't even need that - it's much easier to simply add a rule to Makevars along the lines of:
foo.h: foo.bz2.h
${R_BZIPCMD} -d foo.bz2.h
assuming that compression is enough (the referred file doesn't exist in the sources ...)

Dear Rcpp gurus, In the process of updating my planar package <https://github.com/baptiste/planar>, CRAN has mentioned their concern with the size of the source package (20Mb compressed tar.gz). This puzzled me until I found the culprit: a 40Mb header file <https://github.com/baptiste/planar/blob/master/src/clencurt.h> with 500k pre-calculated quadrature points. I'm thinking that the easiest strategy is probably to compress these data into binary form, say as a Rdata file in inst/, and have the Makefile do some magic to recover it during the package compilation. I'm not sure how to achieve this, or if it even makes sense. Any example of a similar procedure I could follow? Thanks, baptiste
