[R] Package Build Suggestions

[Jeff Newmiller]

Section 1.1.6 of the Writing R Extensions describes the use of the inst/extdata directory for any type or organization of data that you want to keep in the package. None of the directories should be assumed to be writeable though... if you want to write data then do it in the temporary directory or let the user decide where to put it.
