Moreover all other noweb-* functions and variables will be renamed into
ess-noweb-* counterparts int he next patch release 12.09.1. So keep in
mind to rename all of noweb-* occurrences in your .emacs.

This lines are not necessary. Rnw-mode is defined in ESS and you better
not redefine it. Where did you get this idea from? If it's some public
wiki place, then it should be deleted.

This command was not there before, why would you need it?

It's not M-n-s it's "M-n s".  And what do you mean, that you cannot make
it work?

Do C-h k M-n s  and see what M-n s is bound to. It should be
ess-swv-weave.

Try M-x ess-swv-weave and see if it work.

This is the way to go.
