Thank you.  Please note that address does not say this is for MinGW, nor 
that it is compatible with the objects compiled from C by MinGW and with 
the MinGW binutils.  That's a crucial piece of information, as Windows has 
a compiler-specific ABI.  I used g95 because your Wiki did say so.
Will add the URL to the R-admin manual, and request you add a mention of 
MinGW on your Wiki.
