[BioC] install local .gz package in windows

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

The tar.gz extension implies that you have a source package. The zip  
extension implies that you have a binary windows package. They are  
somewhat different. In order to install a source package for R on  
windows you will need to setup your windows machine so it can build R  
from source, see the R-admin guide and various FAQs. This is not  
super hard if you know what you are doing, but it is not a walk in  
the park in case you are completely unfamiliar with this.
