Nope, R.home is correct.  The problem is that Sweave is not escaping \'s
(nor spaces, although I believe they will not occur in R.home()'s output).
Some Windows applications insist on \, but Windows' versions of TeX seem
to insist on /, so applications calling TeX need to convert the path to
Unix style.

Also, Sweave.sty was not installed under Windows in 1.6.0 under any
circumstances.
