[Rd] R from SVN fails to build on win32

[Prof Brian Ripley]

You have not told us which version of R you are trying to build.
But this looks like a problem with your bintools, as nothing has changed 
in that line for a long time.

I am using binutils-2.17.50-20060824.  There was an update at the 
weekend, and I suspect that is broken because it says

     In addition it patches windres to allow use of spaces in filenames,

Does altering the Makefile to have -I../include work?
