Another one that would be nice to have is 

edd at ron:~/svn/rcpp> grep "\.so" /etc/R/Makeconf
DYLIB_EXT = .so
SHLIB_EXT = .so

in order to copy with OS X extensions programmatically in Makefiles.  But I
guess I could also source Makeconf explicitly. At least the Matrix package
does that.

Not really, unless I missed it. Brian more-or-less dismissed it by pointing
to DESCRIPTION's 'Type: Fronted' but that still doesn't solve the issue I was
suggesting as new R CMD INSTALL functionality.  But life is short and many
things are worthy to work on so this one may have dropped to the sides for good.
