[R] R CMD build not excluding .svn

[Prof Brian Ripley]

It does this via an exclude list which it uses to remove files from a 
staged build.  Printing out the exclude list (at ca line 232) should be 
informative. One possibility is simply that there is a permissions issue 
in deleting that directory.

Pretty unlikely.
