Don't use a file name starting with a dot. Assuming this is Unix and R
1.7.1, INSTALL does
Rfiles=`LC_COLLATE=C ls R/*.[RSqrs] R/${R_OSTYPE}/*.[RSqrs] 2>/dev/null`
and ls will omit file names starting with a dot.
`Writing R Extensions' says
The @file{R} subdirectory contains @R{} code files. The code files to
be installed must start with a (lower or upper case) letter and have one
of the extensions @file{.R}, @file{.S}, @file{.q}, @file{.r}, or
@file{.s}.
but it seems we don't quite enforce that on either Unix nor Windows.
