[R] [Rd] I do not want that R CMD build removes temp directory

[Uwe Ligges]

Ah, before that you wrote

""
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'prolfqua'
* removing 'C:Users
"

and C:Users  without a slash sonds suspicious. Now with the new output I 
do not see where the issue is from. Does this also happen when you try 
it on winbuilder?

Best,
Uwe Ligges
