[R-sig-hpc] Error message "not installed for 'arch=xx'" when installing Rmpi in R-2.12.0

[Hao Yu]

Melwin,

Rmpi needs to be recompiled for R 2.12.0. I have put a 32bit binary
version of Rmpi for R 2.12.0 on my site. So far I have no luck with 64bit
Rmpi. Compiling is ok but during loading there is access violation error.
In addition there are some issues of MPICH2 compiled with MS C and R/Rmpi
with Mingw64.
