The use of the UNIX find command on Windows makes installation

a non-Windows find on the PATH.
Find isn't unique: there are lots of versions of make, and grep, and
tar that don't work, either. We've adopted a simple solution, and it
works: when you're using the R tools, put them first on the path.
We've thought about including the R tools with R, which would increase
the size of the distribution quite a bit. Then Rcmd.exe could do the
path modifications, and you wouldn't need to worry about doing it
yourself. That might still happen for 2.8.0.

If you don't have the find in Rtools first in your path then you have
problems like the one below and if you do have it first then it throws
off the scripts from other software.

That looks as though you don't have the tools installed correctly, you have
some other "find" earlier on your path.

I also tried a couple of packages downloaded from CRAN. Those without
inst/doc directory worked fine and those who do have it didn't.
I'm using a fresh install of R-2.7.0 and Rtools-2.7.
Any clue of what was wrong with my setup?
Thanks,
