[R] can't load nlme on windoze 7

Sun Nov 7 16:19:16 CET 2010

I wonder why cygwin is mentioned here.
If you are using the setup installer, it is a native Windows executable 
and does not run under cygwin. cygwin1.dll should not be required 
anywhere. The cygwin platform is not supported.

Best,
Uwe Ligges
