Thanks.

I was in fact thinking about the ITP of R starting from your version and 
I was just wondering if I could live with libR.dll or hack it in cygR.dll.
I was waiting the TCL/TK transition for a final check

Specially as the dll's are on a dedicate directory, out of the PATH
         usr/lib/R/lib/libR.dll
         usr/lib/R/lib/libRblas.dll
         usr/lib/R/lib/libRlapack.dll

staying with libR.dll should be fine in any case.

Regards
Marco
