[R] Where did my packages go ?

[Andreas Borg]

Hi Eric,

I have the same issue in Windows. When I upgrade, I just copy all the 
packages I need from the 2.12 to the 2.13 library folder and run 
update.packages afterwards. However, be careful not to replace any of 
the existing packages with older versions, as this might break the 
installation.
