[Rd] R 2.10.0 devel package check error

[Prof Brian Ripley]

AFAICS that is already fixed (r49467).

It was a Windows-only problem when building just chm help - I suspect 
the latter did not work in your package.

I should perhaps remind people that R-devel is 'unstable' and as we 
work on the help system it is likely to be particularly unstable on 
Windows (since there are features such as this one that are only 
exercised there).

Reports on R-devel are welcome, but most useful if they are about 
things that have persisted for a few days.
