For the inquisitive minds: The reason we want to do this lies in
makefile dependencies: Every file that includes R.h currently ends up
depending on the date stamp which changes automatically every 24
hours. So even a simple bug fix involves substantial rebuilding
activity, which is annoying for the developers, and also carries some
risk of compiler warning getting missed.
