[R] building R1.6.2 from source (windows2k)

[Christian Schulz]

> Do read more carefully.  The file INSTALL says `doc/manual'!

many thanks !
I work with the very usefuel  manual
"R for Windows Users 2.0" from Ko-Kang Kevin Wang ,
but IMHO here is a small mistake (Page 13!) ?

Sorry for my newbie problems, but why the
"make docs" ends not fine and the "make recomended"
didn't work ?

many thanks for help to enter this adventure
