[Rd] Windows R CMD build <pkg> leftovers

A command

R CMD build <pkg>

that fails, e.g., because of C code compilation errors, leaves a directory %TMPDIR%/Rinst.xxx containing the file R.css. Although R CMD INSTALL --build cleans up after itself, build does not. A fix is below. Also, build.in references Rcmd.exe, which I thought was no longer necessary?

Index: build.in
