[Rd] Autoconf / Windows package building problem for device package

[Simon Urbanek]

Tobias,

that package uses headers internal to R (a really bad thing to do).  
Although it attempts to supply them (very dangerous again since they  
are R-version-dependent) they rely on configured R sources which are  
not present on Windows. I don't have a Windows machine handy, but I  
dimly remember that you can find manually created config.h for Windows  
in fixed-h directory under gnuwin32. It's a hack (and I'm not sure if  
it helps), though, so I'd strongly suggest Tadashi to fix his package  
to use official API as was suggested a few times already.

Cheers,
Simon
