[R] MiKTEX-texi2dvi

[Gabor Grothendieck]

One thing to try is to download Sweave.bat from
http://batchfiles.googlecode.com
and place it in the same directory as the Rnw file (or anywhere on your
path) and then from Windows console:

Sweave foo.Rnw

If MiKTeX is in a standard location Sweave.bat will find it and it
will locate R itself from the registry.
