[Rd] Windows problem related to using shortPathName for Sweave style file

[Patrick Aboyoun]

I forgot to mention the BioConductor Windows build machine is running
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2
Enterprise Edition, SP2

I just checked and this same problem exists if I place R in the standard 
"C:\Program Files\R" location on this machine.

For now the backup plan is to move to using short path names for 
BioConductor builds (modifying 100+ vignettes is impractical as well as 
configuring MiKTeX to handle multiple installs of R that the build 
machine uses). If there is an alternate configuration that I should be 
using, just let me know.


Cheers,
Patrick
