[Rd] Linking to the BH package introduces CRAN warnings

[kaveh]

Sire,

The header that is included is

boost/math/distributions/

If I remove it and replace the calls
to its members by plain constants,
the warning disappear (I just tried
this again on http://win-builder.r-project.org/).

This leads me to the suspicion that
the header is causing the error message.

I will post a simpler source code,
tomorrow on this list.

Best regards,
