[R] Problem with RCMD CHECK (or BUILD)

[Prof Brian Ripley]

We do recommend

Rcmd build mpkg

to build a source package, followed by

Rcmd INSTALL --build mypkg_ver.tar.gz

to install it and zip up a version for distribution.

It is 'check' and 'build', and I believe R should refuse to use CHECK or 
BUILD (as in does on all other platforms and at one time did on Windows).
