[R] Building static HTML help pages in R 2.10.x on Windows

[Jonathan Baron]

For what it is worth, I would gladly sacrifice this capability in
order to be able to consult all my R help pages through a Firefox
bookmark to the packages listing (which is what I used to do, and will
do again, when I get time to either rebuild from source or get the
forthcoming Fedora RPM, which will have static pages as the default),
without starting an R session.
