[R] Installing packages.

[ben@zoo.ufl.edu]

  Check out the WINDOWS FAQ (which I think you'll find under the HTML
documentation you got with your binaries: help.start()).

  You probably need the Windows version of the package (which will be a
.zip file, not a tar.gz file) instead.

  Basically, R comes with an installer which you can use to install
libraries (the same installer you used to install the package itself).

  I have often found it hard to get to the R-for-windows FAQ from the R
home page; maybe it should be linked somewhere from the FAQ? (or maybe it
is and I just missed it)
