[R] R-1.6.0 to 1.6.1 diff?

[Na (Michael) Li]

Hi, I see there are diff files for other minor versions.  Will there be 
one for R-1.6.1?  I use rsync on my Linux box which is unfortunately 
unavailable on Windows (not using cygwin).

I have a related question.  I've been building R on Windows myself 
lately because I found that is necessary if I want to build R packages. 
Is that true?  However, it takes quite a long time to build
(on a Duron 1GHz laptop with 384MB memory running WinXP Home) and I 
couldn't do much else at the same time.  So I was hoping by applying the 
patch file, I won't have to rebuild everything from scratch again. 
After all, not many files have been changed.  Has anyone have experience 
with that?

Cheers,

Michael
