How to get knit a RNW file from a function call and put it in a package?

I want to use knitr/sweave to generate a report via a function call. I have a function which creates some plots and tables. I want to give an option in that function to generate a pdf report with those plots. This function will be part of an R package.

The way I approaches this was that I will port a rnw template with the package and whenever the pdf generation option is active, use that template and counter to generate the report. The problem with that is, I don't know where the user will install the package, so location of the rnw file will be a problem also can I pass input arguments to the knit function which can be used in the report?

Any thoughts?

You are after system.file.

The knitr vignette for using jQuery DataTables documents (and does) this.
