  Correct but possibly not sufficiently precise (where's Brian Ripley 
when we need him?).

  You should use the same C compiler that was used to compiler R in the

  On Windows platforms this is the gcc compiler from the Mingw port of gcc.

  See the file src/gnuwin32/INSTALL in the R source directory.
