[Rd] Makevars or congiure for multi platforms

[Tadashi Kadowaki]

Prof. Ripley,

Yes, I can configure when I write configure.ac correctly.
But, If you provide all settings in Rconfig.h, I don't have to
write configure.ac. That is a big benefit for package developers.
Actually I haven't written correct configure.ac yet.

Regards,

Tadashi Kadowaki
