Thanks for posting versions.  This sounds ... weird.

1) The issue of 'failing' over these left-overs from the skeleton annoyed me
so much (many years ago!!) that I wrote a new helper package 'pkgKitten'.

2) 'pkgKitten' is used (if present) by
     Rcpp.package.skeleton()            # in Rcpp
     RcppArmadillo.package.skeleton()   # in RcppArmadillo

3) They work.

4) I just tried your example (of using RStudio's facilities -- which I also
use regularly) and COULD NOT reproduce this on
     RStudio 1.1.456
     RStudio 1.2.1030

So I am stumped.  Kevin: Any idea?
