The vignette name is "Sweave", so you should see it when you say

vignette("Sweave")

but you should also have seen it in

browseVignettes("utils")

and

library(help=utils)

and the page for utils in the HTML help.  So it looks as though 
something is wrong in your install.  I do see it in 2.15.1 patched on 
Windows.
