I tried in vain to execute

R CMD  install /Users/hoffmann/R/cwhmisc  ('cwhmisc' is the package name)

* installing to library ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library’
* installing *source* package ‘cwhmisc’ ...
** R
Error : '\&' ist eine unbekannte Escape-Sequenz in der Zeichenkette beginnend mit ""\&"
ERROR: unable to collate and parse R files for package ‘cwhmisc’
* removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library/cwhmisc’ * restoring previous ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library/cwhmisc’

R version 3.2.1 (2015-06-18)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit)
Running under: OS X 10.7.5 (Lion)

locale:

 [8] graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base

other attached packages:

Strategy of mine:
- search the net :
- grep for '\&'  : to no avail
- remove ~/.Rprofile : no success (it contained only 'options(repos=c(CRAN="http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/";))' anyway)
- change CRAN mirror in .Rprofile : no success
- check vignette : nothing

- R CMD  check --as-cran /Users/hoffmann/R/cwhmisc : Installation failed.
00install.out reads (also) Error : '\&' is an unrecognized escape in character string starting ""\&"
ERROR: unable to collate and parse R files for package 'cwhmisc'

What could be a way out of this maze?
