yes, I see that your R version is 'R (for windows) 1.8.1' and that's probably why it tries to get package for that version.
If you want to upgrade packages, I strongly recommend to first upgrade R to the current version 2.0.0 (or maybe "2.0.0 patched") -- and then follow the advice from James MacDonald.
Yes!
Let me add, that if you are going to stay with R-1.8.1 for some unbelievable reason, you can compile from sources (the one that ends with .tar.gz) yourself (follow .../src/gnuwin32/readme.packages). That might be much harder than upgrading, though - and we cannot promise that a recent package version works under outdated versions of R.
