Latest binaries are available from 
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rpatched.html
which contains the build you said. I know Duncan tries to provide that 
regularly. If that fails for some reason (like it obviously did the last 
few days, obviously), you will have to build it yourself.

Best,
Uwe
