[R] R 3.0.3, Windows 7: Problem installing XML package

Frede... Windows uses zip files (binary, aka pre-compiled format) for packages by default, because most installations don't have the development tools installed. You need to setup RTools and use the "source" option to install_package in order to handle the tar.gz package file, or download and install the zip file instead.
