+R-3.0.0dev:  obtain note
+Possibly mis-spelled fields in DESCRIPTION:
+  'SVNRevision'
+... do not know why?
+
+
+In R-2.15.2pat, we obtain the following warning in distr:
+* checking foreign function calls ... WARNING
+Foreign function calls with 'PACKAGE' argument in a base package:
+  .C("pkolmogorov2x", ..., PACKAGE = "stats")
+  .C("pkstwo", ..., PACKAGE = "stats")
+Packages should not make .C/.Call/.Fortran calls to base packages. They
+are not part of the API, for use only by R itself and subject to change
+without notice.
+
+We are aware of it and know that it is related to NEWS entry
+
+"
+‘R CMD check’ now checks for ‘.C()’, ‘.Call()’, ‘.External()’ and
+‘.Fortran()’ calls in other packages, and gives a warning on those 
+found from R itself (which are not part of the API and change 
+without notice: many will changed for R 3.0.0).
+"
+
+Oct, 09 2012 we contacted Brian Ripley in this issue:
+
+>Up to now, in package distr, in our function qqbounds, we
+>used pkg stats C-functions pkolmogorov2x, pkstwo to construct
+>simultaneous confidence bands for our distr-S4-methods for
+>qqplot (code to call pkolmogorov2x, pkstwo taken from
+>ks.test from pkg stats and mentioned so in our Rd's since
+>~ 3yrs).
+
+[ We cannot use the API return value of ks.test in this case, as 
+  we have to be able to evaluate pkolmogorov2x, pkstwo at 
+  arbitrary input values not just at the ks.test statistics. ]
+
+>We did notice that just recently you/R-core switched from
+>using .C to .Call in R-devel and from pkolmogorov2x, pkstwo
+>to C_pKS2, C_pKolmogorov2x .
+
+>Hence, in our devel versions, we now have a corresponding
+>if-switch according to (getRversion()<"2.16.0") for
+>defining the interface.
+
+>Still, according to the changes in R CMD check mentioned
+>above our code will nevertheless produce warnings and hence
+>get problems on CRAN.
+
+>Could you/R-core please help us avoid this, providing us
+>with API-function wrappers for C_pKS2, C_pKolmogorov2x
+>then?
+
+This is perhaps not necessary; and, in R-3.0.0dev we
+no longer get any warnings on this, anyway.
