     This function generates control files for CRAN-style repositories.
     For each path specified in 'contribPaths' a 'PACKAGES' file is
     written.  In addition, two top-level control files are created:

     'REPOSITORY' contains information about the specified contrib
     paths.

     'VIEWS' contains metadata for all packages in the repository
     including the paths to any extracted vignettes, if found.  This
     file is useful for generating HTML views of the repository.

reposRoot: character vector containing the path to the CRAN-style
          repository root directory.

contribPaths: A named character vector.  Valid names are 'source',
          'win.binary', and 'mac.binary'.  Values indicate the paths to
          the package archives relative to the 'reposRoot'.
