Check Package Dependencies

Description:

     Parses and checks the dependencies of a package against the
     currently installed version of R (and other packages).

Usage:

     package.dependencies(x, check = FALSE,
                          depLevel = c("Depends", "Imports", "Suggests"))

Arguments:

       x: A matrix of package descriptions as returned by
          'available.packages'.

   check: If 'TRUE', return logical vector of check results. If
          'FALSE', return parsed list of dependencies.

depLevel: Whether to look for 'Depends' or 'Suggests' level
          dependencies.

Details:

     Currently we only check if the package conforms with the currently
     running version of R.  In the future we might add checks for 
     inter-package dependencies.
