ChangeLog warning is nonsense #446

@eddelbuettel

When checking a package in RStudio, devtools is used even though I might prefer R CMD check --as-cran.

Worse, devtools appears to be drunk as it warn about

   Non-standard files found:
     ChangeLog

A casual check on the CRAN site reveals that ~ 10% of all packages have such a file:

 edd@xmcorsairs:~/CRAN$ ls -1 */ChangeLog  | wc -l
 555
 edd@xmcorsairs:~/CRAN$ 

Can we please turn that warning off?

And I'd say ditto for the warning about configure.in though this is a different issue. Why be holier than the Pope? If R CMD check does not warn...
