[R] CMD check error

[Therneau, Terry M., Ph.D.]

I suspected it to be something either dumb or obvious, and managed both.

This library plugs into the tail of a long developement project for a web API, which had 
prior documentation, which I stuck in "doc".  And then added to .Rbuildignore.

Thanks Hadley
