[R] How to install "adapt" package

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Beyond that, the files at the URL given are not zip files, so we are 
not being told the whole truth.

My guess is that 'Lei Liu' is using Windows without telling us.  In 
which case (s)he needs to follow the rw-FAQ about installing packages 
from the source.

Also note that CRAN packages are archived for good reason: do not 
expect them to still work with current (or recent) versions of R.
