[Rd] R CMD check not running examples under Windows

[Josh Ulrich]

This is a shot in the dark, but I noticed your PATH contains spaces in
the paths to HTML Help and MiKTeX.  The R Install & Admin manual
explicitly says not to paths with spaces.  If anything, it won't hurt
to make this correction.

HTH,
Josh
