We're going to roll back that change, so you should be okay with your 
original setup.  As far as I know there is no way to get MikTeX to work 
if you have a space in your pathname, so putting R in the standard 
location will fail, unless you follow the advice I give below.

I would recommend biting the bullet and adding \usepackage{Sweave} to 
every vignette.  It's just a one line addition to them, and it will mean 
that their .tex output will work if you move it to a different machine, 
where the full path to Sweave.sty is different.
