Thank you everyone, I think I'll follow the technique used in Rcpp
(dummy vignettes + Makefile).
Cool. Let us (Rcpp team) know if you find better ways or if something is
too much trickery.
It would be great to have a mechanism to select the driver for
vignette generation though.
Also, as a side-note, the choice of a driver has its own shortcoming;
I cannot use the features of highlight and, say, pgfSweave in the same
document.
It should be possible to create a new driver that combines both
features. Let me (highlight team) know if I can do something in
highlight to make this easier than it currently is.

Hi,
I've been meaning to ask the same question before.

Dear list,
I wish to use a specific driver to process an sweave document in the
inst/doc directory of a package. Specifically, I would like to use
either cacheSweave or pgfSweave to speed up the creation of the
vignette which requires lengthy computations. The same request would
also apply to the highlight driver, to provide syntax highlighting of
R chunks.
In "writing R extensions" I see that during R CMD BUILD Sweave is run
first, then optionally a makefile can be used to process any other
files. It doesn't seem to leave room for a choice of Sweave engine, as
far as I understand. One option I am thinking of is to change the
extension of the source file to something like .Rnw2 so that Sweave
ignores it altogether, and then use the appropriate command in a
makefile.
This is what we do in Rcpp to build our 7 vignettes (since we like to use
the driver from highlight).
One thing to have in mind is that R needs the .Rnw file to be present in doc
once the package is installed, so that the vignette function works, hence
some trickery in Rcpp.
A way to control which sweave (and perhaps tangle) driver is to be used for
a particular vignette would be very useful.

I have no experience in writing makefiles, so I'm hoping someone would
already have solved this issue and could provide some advice.
Sincerely,
baptiste
