After accusing someone of typing 'install.packages("weather")' instead

currently returning the wrong source tarball for packages after
'Repitools' in the alphabet.
?I'm hypothesizing it's in the way the PACKAGES file is being constructed, but haven't tested that hypothesis yet - I'm sure the R-forge admins will fix this.
Stefan Theussl has now fixed this, so if anyone wants to try
install.packages("webmaps",repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org") they
now can, without getting the 'weather' package installed instead.
