Apologies for spamming R-help, I suppose this should have gone to R-devel.
I can't ever remember the difference between
the two. So, Professor, if I re-post to R-devel would you be willing to
reveal any more detail for me? ;)

I also apologize for a lack of additional information, I'm happy to provide
you with any, but I'm not exactly sure
what else I can offer..I just want to build a statically linked R
extension, and it doesn't seem to be covered in "Writing R
Extensions". You seem to know the answer, any pointers would be greatly
appreciated.
