Maybe I should have mentioned this. I only installed it a couple of days
ago - it is what is included in the newest version of the Rtools (
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/

). And according to the instructions at
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#The-Windows-toolset:

If you want to build R or add-on packages from source in Windows, you will
need to collect, install and test an extensive set of tools. See
http://CRAN.R-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/
>

 for the current locations and other updates to these instructions. (Most
Windows users will not need to build add-on packages from source; see Add-on
packages<http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Add_002don-packages>

 for details.)

We have found that the build process for R is quite sensitive to the choice
of tools: please follow our instructions *exactly*, even to the choice of
particular versions of the
tools.44<http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#fn-44>

 The build process for add-on packages is somewhat more forgiving, but we
recommend using the exact toolset at first, and only substituting other
tools once you are familiar with the process.

*This appendix contains a lot of prescriptive comments. They are here as a
result of bitter experience. Please do not report problems to the R mailing
lists unless you have followed all the prescriptions.*

We have collected most of the necessary tools (unfortunately not all, due
to license or size limitations) into an executable installer
named45<http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#fn-45>

 Rtools215.exe, available from
http://CRAN.R-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/
>

. You should download and run it, choosing the default “Package authoring
installation” to build add-on packages, or the “full installation” if you
intend to build R.

Which is why I am on this version. I guess I could ignore it and upgrade,
but ...
