  Remember that executing 'update.packages' from a a running R process
  will do all the work for you (find out which packages need to be updated,
  dowloading and replacing the old packages with the new one). From the help
     "These functions can be used to automatically compare the version
     numbers of installed packages with the newest available version on
     CRAN and update outdated packages on the fly."

  You need a version of 'wget' on the path (one for Windows is at CRAN in
  bin/windows/windows-NT/base/etc).
