[ESS] knitr

[Yihui Xie]

For this specific task, it is not terribly hard to do with knitr, and
it happens that someone asked a similar question a few days ago. Here
is my example: https://gist.github.com/2629886#file_knitr_checkpoint.rnw

Basically you specify a chunk name, and knitr will evaluate all chunks
up to that chunk.

Regards,
Yihui
