A follow up on the actions taken.
1) In R >= 2.7.0 whether Sweave() inserts
\usepackage{/full/path/to/Sweave}
is controlled by the environment variable SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAULT which
sets the default for RweaveLatex's 'stylepath' argument. So setting
SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAULT=FALSE inserts just \usepackage{Sweave}
To work with this, when tools::texi2dvi finds it is being used with
MiKTeX's texi2dvi, it makes use of the -I argument of the latter to put
the path to Sweave.sty into the input path.
This means that users of MiKTeX will want to set
SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAULT=FALSE in their environent, e.g. in .Renviron.
2) For 2.8.0, it is planned that the default for 'stylepath' will become
FALSE. In that version tools::texi2dvi will set the appropriate input
path on all platforms.
