The difficulty with most workarounds suggested so far is the expanded list of dependencies. My package and quantmod, have had a simple dependency on download.file in utils. Picking on Dirks suggestion as an example, it would add a system dependency on libcurl and an R package dependency on curl

Regarding alternative places for scripts, you can add a directory (eg inst/testLocalScripts) and then with a recently added R CMD feature you can do R CMD check --test-dir=inst/testLocalScripts your-package.tar.gz This will not (automatically) be checked on CRAN. Beware that you also need to
