[GSoC-PortA] R CMD check

[Brian G. Peterson]

I just ran R CMD check on current svn, and it's kind of a mess.

'R CMD build' runs fine, which is good.

The vignettes take over 100 minutes to build using only one core on my 8 
(physical) core desktop.  CRAN won't like that, but I think it is 
necessary. I think we can make a case to CRAN that we need non-toy 
examples for everything, and they can get over it.

The rest of check is going to need some work.

By far the biggest thing is missing/incorrect parameters in the 
documentation.  This should all be worked out by making rure the roxygen 
comments are up to date and that the docs are regenerated.

Another big area of check wordiness is in the S3 methods (e.g. 
chart.Scatter, chart.Weights, extractStats) , which we had agreed should 
be collapsed into a single main entry as I had done with 
optimize.portfolio, etc.  We might need to add some @method tags to the 
roxygen comments.

I think it's rather important to start cleaning this stuff up, we've 
only got a few weeks left in GSoC.

Full results of 'R CMD check --no-vignettes' and the generated manual 
attached.

Regards,

Brian
