PS. The line added by Sweave to a vignette in R2.4.0dev for Windows is actually
\usepackage{C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-24~1.0DE/share/texmf/Sweave}
Even though this DOS version of the file path doesn't contain a space
character, it is still invalid syntax for LaTeX.

[Bioc-devel] texmf error on 7 packages on devel winXP build nodes
2 messages · Gordon K Smyth, Martin Morgan
[A build system misconfiguration at Bioconductor lead to a discussion
about whether \usepackage{Sweave} should be included in .Rnw
documents. Leaving this line out causes a problem on Windows, as
indicated below.]
I think the problem is '~', which should, according to Donald
Arseneau's comment in this thread
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/640e89078d0697c4/5b6f9fc6b0da21bf?lnk=gst&q=windows+file+path&rnum=4#5b6f9fc6b0da21bf
be \string~. If this is the correct change, perhaps an upstream fix
could be introduced in src/library/util/R/Sweave.R.
