[BioC] R CMD check and RUnit

[Gorjanc Gregor]

I have created page [1] in R Wiki on this topic.

http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=developers:runit

Seth, I have also managed to tweak doRUnit.R so that R CMD check gives an error 
if the tests fail. I will leave windows port for someone else ;)

As you know, we've been using the RUnit package in our group here in
Seattle to help with the development of Biobase and graph.  I've found
that writing unit tests improve my coding by making me focus on the
API instead of the implementation and by making bug fixing easier.

I've been meaning to improve the scripts I use to run the tests and
what you've posted is a start in that direction.

I have two additional aims, however, that aren't yet covered:

(3) R CMD check should give an error if the tests fail.
(4) Works on Windows.

Lep pozdrav / With regards,
