[R] Fortran interface

[Prof Brian Ripley]

This is Windows (unstated)!

It will not work anyway: the symbol is "_avg", and symbol.For does that
mapping for you.  However, the @12 is a linker instruction saying this is 
stdcall and not cdecl.

The recommended compiler etc does not do this.  Please either use it or at 
least read the documentation (in readme.packages).  We do not support
stdcall, nor do we offer support for other compiler systems.  But you 
should be able to produce cdecl linking from a Fortran Windows compiler.
