It is perhaps worth noting that until ca a year ago Omegahat did 
distribute Windows binaries, but no longer (as far as I recall they 
existed for R 2.7.x but not 2.8.x, and I know for sure not for R 
2.9.x).

And in the corresponding directory for 2.8.x (an older version of 
Rstem), which means that Rstem should just install from the Rgui menus 
for users of recent versions of R.  (Assumming this is for Windows -- 
we were not actually told).

For the record, Windows builds of the Omegahat packages

RCurl, XML (also on CRAN)
Rcompression, SSOAP, Rstem, XMLSchema

are on CRANextras.  Builds of (in some cases older versions) of RCurl, 
Rlibstree, SSOAP, XML and XMLSchema are available from 'BioC extras' 
(which you can select as a repository from the menu).
