[ESS] Combining sweave and pdflatex into one helper function

[Brett Presnell]

I grabbed what you posted yesterday and added it into my .emacs, but I
had one strange problem that pushed me back to "M-n s" + "M-n P".  The
problem was that the line

\SweaveOpts{keep.source=TRUE}

which I usually put that the top of my .Rnw file seems to be ignored
when I run Sweave with "C-cC-c Sweave", while it is correctly picked up
by "M-n s".

I haven't gotten around to figuring out why this is happening, but it's
definitely a deal breaker for me.  I don't have time at the moment to
try the SVN version of ESS, but I am currently running

 Ubuntu 10.10
 GNU Emacs 23.1.1
 AUCTeX 11.86
 ESS 5.12

FWIW, I did check that that "M-n s" followed by "C-cC-c LatexSweave"
works correctly, so the problem arises in the running of Sweave, not
pdflatex.
