Correct.  [ A colleague was just bitten / frustrated by that today. ]

You can also use a standard -I/some/path/... switch --- but for the reason
Kevin explained so nicely (ie R building in a temp. dir) you cannot just say
"use my local dir" via -I. but have to be explicit: -I/home/tal/some/dirk or,
if you must -IC:/some/win/doze/path.

Longer-term, a package is your friend. And hey, you already have one :)
