[Rd] The standalone Rmath library and VC++ 2003

[Oran Johnson]

Where is "double	rnbeta(double, double, double);" ?

It's in Rmath.h, but in the source or supporting libs.

MinGW's loader will pick up the correct set of default libraries, which 
does include -lmingwex and much else, so if you build a DLL, these entry

points are compiled in already.

Otherwise, it is down to you to figure out how to link, and it may
change 
from time to time. Just the same experience as when you mix-and-match 
compilers on a Unix-alike (try mixing gcc3 and gcc4, or gcc and Sun 
Studio).
