R help - Dec 2012 - Creating an R package in windows- where to put images?

My R version: 2.15.1- windows

While creating an R package in windows, i want to include an image (a .gif
image) that will finally be in the package. A function in my package will
call the gif image. Where should i put the images before running "Rcmd
build mypkg" or "Rcmd INSTALL --build mypkg", so that after
creating the
package, the .zip file / .tar.gz/ .tgz would have the gif image in the
correct place in each OS.  Basically two questions (1) which directory
should i put the gif image before building the pkg and (2)how do i specify
the path in the function that will call the gif image?

Don't get stuck on your idea that the file is a gif... once you load it into
memory it is an R object.
