[R] dealing with sweave.sty and pgfSweave

[Ista Zahn]

Hi Ravi,
There are a couple of ways to do it. See chapter 4 of the MikTeX documentation.

Best,
Ista

PS. List: Is there any reason why Sweave.sty should not be distributed
with the major LaTeX distributions (TeXlive, MacTeX, MikTeX)? Every
time I add Sweave.sty to my texmf directory I wonder about this.
