_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function will read in a repository theme XML file and output
     a RDA file with a list of 'reposTheme' objects specifying the
     themes for a repository.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     parseThemesXML(repTXML = "repThemes.xml", repTrda = "repThemes.rda", repDrda = "repdatadesc.rda")

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

 repTXML: Filename of the input XML file.

 repTrda: Filename of the output RDA file.

 repDrda: Filename of the repdatadesc file for this repository.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     This function is used by 'genRepos' to convert the 'repThemes.xml'
     file which specifies any repository themes in XML format into a
     list of 'reposTheme' objects and stores them in a file named
     'repThemes.rda'.

     The 'repdatadesc.rda' file must be used for cases where there is
     no package version specified for a package in a theme - in which
     case, 'parseThemesXML' will determine the highest version of that
     package in the repository and use that for the package version of
     the theme.
