[Rd] Small request.

[apjaworski at mmm.com]

Sorry for the mix-up with Robert Murdoch.  I do not know what I was
thinking.

I just wanted to clarify what would be useful to me.  If possible, I would
like to have some kind of indication on the website what "version" of
Rtools28 (or some future Rtools) is the most current.  This way, I would
know whether I needed to download and install it.  I do not care much what
it writes into registry.

Andy

As of a few weeks ago,
rtools does store the current version in the registry but
its only a gross figure such as 2.7 or 2.8 and
that would not be enough to identify the build.
