[Rd] Buliding a package (on Windows) does not produce libs directory

[Prof Brian Ripley]

There is no DLL being built. We have absolutely nothing to go on here, but 
there are dozens of examples on CRAN which do work.  A simple one 
containing Fortran is 'ash' - perhaps you should study how yours differs 
from that.

And please get R CMD INSTALL working before complicating the issue with 
the (not recommended) R CMD build --binary.
