If you put a copy of Sweave.sty into your latex installation, in a few

A link from ly latex installation to the original file in my R installation
would do fine? It works, but is there a downside I wouldn't know?
The link may break when you re-install R, but the link is probably safer
than making a copy.
Background is that I want to use kile for editing my .Rnw file (which will be
more text than calculation), with the convenience of having the .Rnw and the
.tex file (and the .bib file) all in one window, with an integrated Konsole
window at the bottom.
I don't know that editor, but I would suggest that most of the time you
don't really want to look at the .tex file. Changes there get wiped out
the next time you run Sweave.
What I do is to write a simple command for my editor that does the three
steps Sweave, latex/pdflatex, preview all in one command. I wrote a
little R package that helps with this; it's called patchDVI, available
on R-forge. Using that package the command is
echo patchDVI::SweaveMiktex('%2', preview='yap -1 -s"%1%2" \x25s') |
Rterm --slave
or
echo patchDVI::SweavePDF('%2', stylepath=FALSE,
preview="f:/SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF \x25s") | Rterm --slave
The previewer gets links back to the .Rnw file.
This still requires looking at the .tex file to understand LaTeX errors;
one day I'll patch those too, but haven't got around to it yet.
