[Rd] rgl for Windows

[John Fox]

Dear list members,

I think that it's a pity that there's no Windows binary for the rgl package
on CRAN. I understand that rgl doesn't compile with the standard Windows
tools and that there's a Windows binary on Daniel Adler's web site. But the
lack of an rgl binary on CRAN provides presents a potential obstacle to at
least some Windows users, such as many students in introductory courses. 

Is there a way to get an rgl binary onto CRAN (or would this just be too
much trouble)?

Regards,
 John
