On windows there's really only one supported tool chain. On other
platforms your configure could test for a defined CXX env. variable. R
consults R_HOME/etc/Makeconf for source packages without configure
scripts and so I think assumes close similarity between compile time
and current environments.

The paradigm seems to be along the lines of (from the rsbml package
configure.win, copying an external dll into the package)

#!/bin/sh

mkdir $DPKG/libs
cp $LIBSBML_PATH/bin/*.dll $DPKG/libs

DPKG is defined in R_HOME/src/gnuwin32/MakePkg (which seems to be
driving the installation), and is the directory where the package is
being built for installation.

I feel a little uncertain answering these questions definitively; you
might try asking on the R-devel list where you'll tap into a deeper
pool of experience (the original question, about lemming / liverpool,
were very appropriate for the bioc-devel list). Others on the current
list might feel free to chip in, too.
