[R] Build problems on Windows with fpTeX and MiKTeX

[Prof Brian Ripley]

hyperref.cfg is not there in the cvs sources ... which I think answers the 
point.  Did you use --delete on rsync?  The 1.9.0 beta FAQ has

     rsync -rC --delete rsync.R-project.org::MODULE R

At present rsync.R-project.org is far too slow for me to test out what it 
picks up (there seems to be a network problem with it).
