Getting a working development setup for R on Windows can be a real
challenge.

I believe some improvements were made in the about-to-be-released
version of R (2.2.0) that make it work more seamlessly with a MiKTeX
install.

If you are preparing a package for contribution to Bioconductor, you
will need to be working with this version of R anyhow.

Also, R-devel may be a better forum for further questions regarding
configuration of a working Windows devel setup.  That's were the
experts are, anyhow :-)
