I'm writing a R package which begins to grow in size, and so would really appreciate to use a custom structure in folders pkg/R/ and (especially) in pkg/src/.
For example, let's say I have two families of algorithms of some type A, and some functions of type B, and a main entry point. Ideally R/ or src/ folders would be organized as follow:
with "ext" in {R,cpp,c,f,...}, and potentially two files having the same name.
Is it possible ? If yes, how can I do that ?
Thanks in advance !
[2012-12-31] EDIT: an idea would be to write a few scripts - maybe inside another R package - to (un)flatten a structured package for tests or diffusion. But there is probably a better solution, so I will wait a bit.

Rbuildignore file. It controls which files from the source package make it into the downstream forms. Each line of . Rbuildignore is a Perl-compatible regular expression that is matched, without regard to case, against the path to each file in the source package 1.
A source package is just a directory of files with a specific structure. It includes particular components, such as a DESCRIPTION file, an R/ directory containing . R files, and so on. Most of the remaining chapters in this book are dedicated to detailing these components.
When making an R package the inst folder is for files/folders that should be copied unmodified into the installed R package folder.
As the 'Writing R extensions' manual indicates here, a Makevars file under pkg/src allows to have nested subfolders for C/C++/Fortran code. (See e.g. RSiena package).
However, I didn't find anything concerning a custom structure in pkg/R. So I wrote a little package (usable, although needing improvements) which accomplish the following tasks:
I will link it here if it reaches a publishable state. (For the moment I could send it by email).
