No, I just leave them there. They are not supposed to be called on a platform
where the C function does not exist, and even if they would be, that's just an
error, which is fine.

I could dynamically include/exclude R code at install time, but that is not so
easy, either, I would probably need to deal with the docs as well, etc.

So I'll just leave it there....
