Advice: please read the R posting guide, and use an appropriate subject 
line.

First you need to find an F90 compiler for Windows XP (I don't know of a
free one).  Then use it to produce an appropriate DLL with cdecl linkage,
as described in the file README.packages.

Given that R only has C and F77 interfaces to compiled code, you will need 
to ensure that the entry points you actually call use only C/F77 features.
