[ESS] knitr pdf viewer on windows

[Vitalie Spinu]

Is making SumatraPDF the default on your computer an option?

I looked into the code and, somewhat unfortunately, windows is treated
specially by calling "start" and ignoring ess-pdf-viewer-pref. I am
afraid the only way to make it work for you is to rewrite ess-swv-PDF.
