Nice. I like that setup too. But it fails 'R CMD check' from SVN and that
sucks:

* checking tests ...
  Running ‘doRUnit.R’
 ERROR

That was running 'R CMD check pkg' as pkg/ is the subdir.  

The best fix I ever found for that was to ... hardcode the package name
above.  Which feels like a crutch. Can you think of anything better?

One I change to 

  #wd <- getwd()
  #pkg <- sub("\\.Rcheck$", '', basename(dirname(wd)))
  pkg <- "RProtoBuf"

it passes but doesn't build the vignette.

Yup.
