[Rd] Separate packages per windows subarch in repository

[Iago Mosqueira]

Thanks. I did not explain clearly that the executables are not compiled
during package compilation, apologies. They are compiled beforehand, as
they use ADMB (AD Model Builder) and placed in inst/bin/windows.

I assume Makefile.win could copy the appropriate one from PKG/bin/$arch to
PKG/inst/bin/ so that the right one is installed?

Cheers,


Iago
