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.
