[R] Updating from an Old to a New version of R

[Prof Brian Ripley]

We don't know this was for Windows, but a better answer is in the rw-FAQ 
Q2.8.

Please (everyone) don't give answers to FAQs but refer to the official 
FAQ.  (If you think you know a better answer, check that out with the FAQ 
maintainer(s) first.)
