Research direction

Start by locating the package's current vendoring workflow and the inst/include/cpp11 directory. Define the cpp_unvendor() entry point so it removes that directory and adds the required LinkingTo directive, then verify the package still handles the vendored and unvendored states.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Some packages (e.g. arrow) go back and forth between vendored and unvendored. An cpp_unvendor() would be nice:

  • unlink the inst/include/cpp11 directory
  • add LinkingTo directive
