I should have explained better: The idea was precisely to generate the 
documenation only on the developer's system. makedist.sh is a script which I 
run to *create* the source releases. It is not needed during make / make 
install / at runtime.

In principle this would probably be a good idea. However, several of the 
functions in internal.R are called from C++-code. If these are no longer 
exported, we'd have to find all those places, and fix them to use 
rkward:::something(), instead. So this would require great care, and quite 
some grep'ping. I certainly won't stop you from working on this, though.

Thomas
