Subject: R 1.6.0 beta

I have successfully compiled it under Windows XP.

Though, as a side track.  I compiled it under Inno Setup 3.0.3-beta.  In the
3.x version, "AlwaysCreateUninstallIcon" is no longer supported.  I had to
deleted the line (Line 12, I believe), added :
    Name: "{group}\R 1.6.0 beta"; Filename: "{uninstallexe}"
into the [Icons] block..  I think one can compile without adding in this
line, but the "AlwaysCreateUninstallIcon" must be removed.  (I know this
version of Inno Setup is still at beta stage, but it seems this "feature" is
going to stay :-)).

The resulting installation file, rw1060.exe, is roughly 16.3MB, without
compiled HTML support (I didn't built it).

Thought this may interest some people :-)
