Just a couple of small bug-lets/stuffs in Sweave:

- It stripes off the two lines starting with @ (this is a verbatim section 
showing plink's start-up message):

=======================================

========================================

- XeTeX definitely does not like having any \usepackage[whatever]{inputenc}
(it assumes inputs are always utf-8)


While both of these can be worked around - using \input{} for anything Sweave 
might mess with, and put a % in front of \userpackage[inputenc] (Sweave seems 
to read LaTeX comments as real; but that's probaby a mis-feature...); SWeave 
probably should not stripe @ without a starting <<>>= noweb marker.

Had a couple of discussion elsewhere - it seems that international stuff in 
LaTeX, XeTeX and/or LuaTeX are the main ones to use, but for most parts people 
still stick to regional encodings (e.g. iso 8859-11 for Thai) so dependences on 
inputenc is not really useful.

FWIW.
