Sorry, and just to be plain, that still would need another layer of
'RcppArmadillo' because if we did, say, 

	(inst)/include/RcppArmadillo/extensions/sample.h

then the include is still just 

        #include <extensions/sample.h> 

which is not expressive enough. I think we should go for something like boost
where we have to do

        #include <RcppArmadillo/extensions/sample.h> 

but that would require a directory

	(inst)/include/RcppArmadillo/RcppArmadillo/extensions/sample.h

which reads silly.   Hm.  

Better suggestions, anyone?

Dirk
