Proving a negative is hard.

My guess is that the reviewer may have used a static analysis tool to
look for calls to cat()/writeLines() or functions with a default
argument of ".". The "tools/config.Rtools/config/configure.R" may be a
typo or a forgotten separator somewhere.

If you made any changes to the package for the resubmission, put the
explanation about the R scripts under tools/ being required by the
configure script to operate on the current directory in the submission
comment.

If you want to be extra sure, you can try experimenting with a
container or a virtual machine:

find / /home /tmp -xdev -ls > .../ironseed.before
./configure
find / /home /tmp -xdev -ls > .../ironseed.after
diff -u .../ironseed.before .../ironseed.after

(Adjust the 'find' command so that it can visit all the relevant
filesystems, not /proc or /sys on Linux.)

I didn't notice anything amiss in my own limited testing.
