If I can just add, what was meant above is that some windows users
have put their **library** of addon packages in the C:\Program Files
tree and as stated that is not a good idea. As far as RMySQL goes its
ok if R itself is in the C:\Program Files tree. I have R in the
C:\Program Files tree on my machines and also run RMySQL but I don't
have my library there.
