Just to clarify, I based my comment on this thread:
	http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/03a/1690.html

which may no longer be true. I have made no specific attempt to make 
PL/R compile under Windows because I did not think it was supported. If 
R.dll can be used under Windows in the same manner as libR.so on Linux, 
I'd bee happy to hear about it.
