Works with forward slashes as follows:

  c:\stat\r\rw2000\bin\Rcmd install --docs=normal --build
  --library=c:\stat\R\bxc\library c:/stat/R/bxc/library.sources/xx

The seems to be related with the more recent threads
"Re: [Rd] wishlist: better error message in R CMD check"
"[Rd] creating a package without lazy loading"
on R-devel.

I'll try to debug.

I have a fix in R-patched for this: it seems highly dependent on the
version of the tools in use.

For rw2000, do avoid

- spaces in the path to the package sources
- backslashes in the path to the package sources

Both were warned against, of course.
