I think that the equivalent Windows BAT script might be difficult, it
might require 2 steps.

Alternatively, maybe enough tools are present in the MinGW tools to
make the above work.

Sorry, I don't think I can be of much more assistance on this.  Anyone
else a Windows scripting expert?  We (someone else :-) could then
extend ess-makeSweave to ess-makeSweave-using-another-R, or similarly
named function (would be useful when having 2+ CPUs/cores).
