[Rd] Compiler options for Makefile.win

[cstrato]

Dear Uwe,

My problem is that this is the only mailing list I know where to ask 
this question, since this problem is definitely related to R.

When I compile my source code as stand alone library using NMAKE then 
both compiler options, /MD and /MT, work fine and I can use the compiled 
library from a C++ program w/o any problems.

Only compiling the source code from within R results in the error when 
using /MD.

BTW, I forgot to mention that when "R CMD build" stops at:
* DONE (xps)
* creating vignettes ...
I get the following "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" dialogbox:
Runtime Error!
Program: c:\Programme\R\R-2.9.0alpha\bin\Rterm.exe
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library 
incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Best regards
Christian
