Done, thanks for the updates, Haris. The archive on my site[1] is  
your current bundle now, and it should do the trick for Danstan.

Thinking broadly about the bundle and how I'm using sweave, it seems  
to me that sweave ought to work for at least a few different  
circumstances:

1. single .snw file sweave => typeset
2. sweave project (typeset optional; I use the sweave project to  
prepare data for subsequent work, and frequently do not typeset at  
this point.)
3. sweave current file => typeset (not really functionally different  
than no. 1, just switched on the basis of TM_LATEX_MASTER, probably)

My current workflow is to begin with no. 2, and then work with the R  
console to test code that I subsequently plug into a single sweave  
file. When I'm ready, I sweave and typeset that single file (which  
lets me avoid re-sweaving the whole big project each time I want to  
fiddle with a table, for instance). The trick for the bundle seems to  
me to be enabling smooth selection of a) master sweave, b) per-file  
sweave, and c) typeset, with as few overlapping key commands as  
possible.

Anyway, I'll be eager to really work on this as soon as I finish this  
little project I'm working on.

Cheers-
