[R] Windows compile

[Philip Bermingham]

That worked great, thank you.  but it seems I have a new error occurring 
after the zipping of the help files:

hhc: not found
cp: cannot stat `C:/R/R-2.1.1/src/library/base/chm/base.chm': No such 
file or di
rectory
make[3]: *** [chm-base] Error 1
make[2]: *** [pkg-base] Error 2
make[1]: *** [rpackage] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any advise?
