Hi, Gabor, et al.:
Could you also please ensure 'plflatex wrapper.tex' work with
whatever MikTeX installation you include, for 'wrapper.tex' mentioned in
the "Submissions" instructions for R News?
This bombed for me when I tried it recently, because I was missing
multiple LaTeX packages: When I found one, it asked for another that I
couldn't easily find. So I did a maximal install of the latest version
of MiKTeX. That involved downloading more that a gigabyte of stuff,
then cleaning space on my hard drive so I could actually install it.
The whole process took several days, in between my other work. It would
help if it were all part of the standard install.
Thanks,
Spencer

I came across this program to locate MiKTeX file:

If the exe of this were included with R then it seems it might
provide a reliable way to locate MiKTeX which we don't currently have
since AFAIK there is no adequate registry key for MiKTeX.
Since its a tiny program it would not substantially affect the
R download.
(There is also a perl version of the same program there although
it relies on certain perl packages which would also have to be
present complicating things.)
