[R] Installing package rpvm under Windows

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Plese heed the warning enclosed in ***********.  You haven't set up the 
pvm libraries in the link.

If you don't know how to do the manual configuration, talk to the package 
maintainer (as the posting guide asked you to do before posting).

Using \ is unlikely to work with the tools that we use, but I see no sign 
that this is being used.
