Replying to myself with more information: 

(running from Xemacs shell)
Using a package with NO explicit calls to the function na.omit, (but 
with some handling of NA's
with other means):

C:\R\rw2001\src\gnuwin32>Rcmd INSTALL ../library/Drogas
Rcmd INSTALL ../library/Drogas


---------- Making package Drogas ------------
  adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION
  no R files in this package
  installing data files
  installing man source files
  installing indices
Error: couldn't find function "na.omit"
Execution halted
make[2]: *** [indices] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [pkg-Drogas] Error 2
*** Installation of Drogas failed ***
