Actually, binaries are usually there, e.g. 
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.11/ggplot2_0.8.9.zip .

And I would expect install.packages() in the appropriate version of R to 
find these.

So I at least have no idea what the real problem is.

Which does say explicitly that 'R 2.11 and R 2.12' do not exist and that 
we only support current R (read R >= 2.14.2 at present).
