[Rd] Option "installWithVers" seems to impact new.packages() badly?

[A.J. Rossini]

In Rdevel, SVN version built this morning around 10am central european
time, it looks like

   install.packages(new.packages(),installWithVers=TRUE)

seem to ignore the version information -- that is, it reinstalls
current versions of packages.

This did not happen before I used "installWithVers=TRUE" option, that is
I could use

   update.packages()
 and
   install.packages(new.packages())

to keep a current, platform-complete, installed base of CRAN.
