[R] R-package install

[Prof Brian Ripley]

We write manuals so that you can know how to do things in R.  Package 
installation is covered in the 'R Installation and Administration' manual.

We don't have the attachment, but assuming this was a source package I 
sugest you look into Uwe Ligges' win-builder service mentioned in that 
manual (and in 'Writing R Extensions').
