[Rd] R CMD CHECK --run-donttest ignored

[Francois Rousset]

Dear R developers,

As far as I can see

R CMD CHECK --run-donttest

does not test the \donttest examples.
By contrast, --run-dontrun appears to run the \dontrun examples as expected.

I have prepared a minimal package archive for illustrating this bug, 
which I can send to anyone interested (but I am not sure it is 
appropriate to attach it to this mail).

I have formally tested this problem on
