r-hub/builddeps: Find Build-Time Package Dependencies

Most R package dependencies are run-time dependencies: functions within a package refer to functions or other objects within another package. These references are resolved at runtime, and for evaluating the code of a package (i.e. installing it), the dependencies are not actually needed. This package tries to work out the build-time and run-time dependencies of a package, by trying to evaluate the package code both without and with each dependency. See the manual for the exact details of the detection algorithm.
