[R] Windows Installation Without Third-Party Packages

[John C Frain]

My understanding is that the packages installed with the windows installer
were only updated by installing a new version of R or the  patched install
file for the current version. If this is the case you you do not need to be
concerned about updates to these packages. Perhaps some one wiser that I
can confirm if my assumption is right or wrong.
