[R] Installation of R, Sweave, ESS and [X]Emacs on Windows?

I'm trying to get R, Sweave, ESS and XEmacs or emacs all installed and
working together on my Windows XP Pro system. I've got R 2.6.0 working
just fine, installed from the R Windows installer. I also have
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 with XEmacs 21.4 working okay. Can anyone point me to any
documentation on how to bring these together so that R code typed in
Xemacs can be run in R? I found the ESS installation directions here at
http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ess.html#Microsoft-Windows-installation
but they seem daunting. I'm not sure that Xemacs from cygwin can work
with R installed alone. Can anyone confirm that I just have to follow
these directions to have everything I want?

Thank you all for your help and advice.
