I've just committed some changes to allow R to be built and to use MikTeX without needing the Rd.sty files to be installed to localtexmf. Unfortunately, the changes are not compatible with other TeX packages, so if you're not using MikTeX you'll need to edit a couple of the config files (or set an environment variable). I'd appreciate hearing of any problems during the alpha or beta test period. A binary build containing the changes should be on CRAN tomorrow or the next day. Look for revision 35546 or higher.
Note that R.version.string in R 2.2.0 2005-09-03 does not give this sort of version information. If we are going to use this style I suggest we modify R.version.string accordingly.
You can get the revision number from the startup banner if you download a binary build. Duncan Murdoch
