[R] Roxygen vs Sweave for S4 documentation

For the moment proper documentation of S4 classes (with a @slot tag 
e.g.) is not implemented yet, but my secret hope is that this will
be implemented before Peter and Manuel (in cc) will present Roxygen
at DSC2009. Maybe they have further comments ?

Kind regards,
Tobias
