[R] can't load nlme on windoze 7

[Mike Marchywka]

Either hotmail or the list spam filter butchered my dll list but
I would mention that the cygwin dll occurs when I tried to load
the nlme library. I posted the build settings in first post and
am now floundering with the tar file to find the Makefile so I can
change them to avoid using cygwin, something like -mno-cygwin.
Can you point me to the equivalent of the makefile ? I tried 
setting default gcc to version 3 but no change etc. I can play
with the build flags if I know where they are.

Thanks.

 Stupid hotmail or spam filter seems to have wrecked this...
