R help - Oct 2010 - How do I install (download) a package with my own package?

I want to create my own package in which some of my functions depend on
functions already existing in another package that is not part of the default
library (i.e. when you install R for the first time, you need to download that
package to access the functions.)

Is there a way to bundle this existing package with the package I will create so
that one doesn't have to install my package and then the package in which
some of my functions depend on?

Thanks!

Ian

See Writing R Extensions:
You can declare dependencies and install.packages(...) and its argument 
"dependencies" can handle automatical installation of dependencies.
