Yes please ignore those warnings about object files not being
removed from the src/ folder on Windows. This seems to affect
all packages with native code that don't use a Makefile (i.e.,
a *lot* of BioC packages). I reported that problem yesterday on
R-devel

   https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2010-October/058772.html

but got no answer so far (and I don't see any fix coming yet in
svn for R). This problem is new in R 2.12 (hence you don't see it
with the 2.6 builds): it is (again) a regression introduced in
'R CMD build' and 'R CMD check' when those scripts were migrated
from Perl to R. Note that most of those regressions (some of them
more serious than this one) seem to have been fixed in R 2.12 RC
already but there are still a couple of them pending.

Thanks for your comprehension,
H.
