well, a) is certainly the easiest option, by all means. The (acceptable) 
downside to this is that the usage-section will then be rendered as
  ## S3 method for class 'cormat'
  HTML(x,[...])
while you really have to call HTML.cormat(). The example section is not 
affected, though.

As the package maintainer, it's your call ;-).
