Thanks.

Also, regardless of whether that's a bug in codetools or snpMatrix (I am okay if you turn this around to say there is some coding style we shouldn't do in there, for which I'd apologize), there seems to be a small bug or inconsistency, and certainly in R or codetools, in that the codetools message is shown in all 4 platforms - linux, mac, win32, win64 - but the error status, whether it is correct or not, only propagate back up to the "R CMD check" harness in the case of win64 and not for the other 3 platforms. It should pass or fail with a warning consistently on all platforms.
