i didn't install the roxygen package system wide, but to $HOME/R, amongst a 
lot of other packages. i don't want to mess with system directories handled by 
dpkg, so anything i fetch directly from a CRAN repository stays in my $HOME. 
usually this works great, but "R CMD roxygen" seems to care only about $RHOME 
and ignore $R_LIB and $R_LIB_USER :-/

the packaging it's actually not really needed for us, either. the script 
wasn't intended to become a part of the distribution, i just thought it's 
easier to see something that works for me.

yes, otherwise this would only give meaningless warnings: the objects that 
rm() tries to remove from globalenv have never appeared there, because they 
are now only created temporarily inside the functions' environemental context.

i forgot to mention that i removed the function calls at the end of all test 
suites (it's part of the main function), so currently the old testing 
framework is broken. is that ok?

for a plugin test now one only has to provide a valid suite object, everything 
else is handled by rktest.makeplugintests(). if your testing the package 
doesn't show probelms, we could replace the old framework completely.
