I think it should be easy to ignore the encoding argument if it does not exist, but the problem that confuses me is why importing Rnw is involved with lyxsweave.R or lyxknitr.R. I mean Rnw should be treated as a normal TeX document (the R code should not be executed through Sweave or knitr), except that the code chunks (between <<>>= and @) should be treated differently, e.g. as ERT.
