[R] File Encoding Warnings during package installs

[Sarosh Jamal]

I've been getting the following warning on each package update/install (Rv2.4 on SunOS9):

Warning message:
'DESCRIPTION' file has 'Encoding' field and re-encoding is not possible.

This was the case on R2.3 and now on R2.4 as well - any insight would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
