[ESS] Snw files are not weaved by C-c C-c from AucTeX-mode

[A.J. Rossini]

Because those were hacks that Fritz introduced for some reason (I
don't really know why, and I don't have an opinion as to their
goodness), where as the standard Noweb format is the traditional

<< >>=

@

encoding.  It's not really robust, either, but there are cool
noweb-related toys for formatting and indexing that you can use by
using this.

Probably, the better approach for Sweaving is to

M-x ess-makeSweave

which DOES work.  And there is a keybinding as well,  M-n s

(there are also corresponding ess-makeLatex, ess-makePDF, and
ess-makePS commands, which just run LaTeX, etc....).    With
keybindings:

M-n x		ess-insert-Sexpr
M-n P		ess-makePDF
M-n p		ess-makePS
M-n l		ess-makeLatex
M-n s		ess-makeSweave

Someone else can fix the Auc-TeX C-c C-c commands by adding a new
command which does the right thing (probably running Fritz's Sweave.sh
script, or an enhanced variant of that), but the above works today.
