[Rd] windows 64-bit package build on 32-bit machine

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi Michael,

My understanding is that this should work.
According to section "D.4.2 64-bit toolchain" of the "R Installation
and Administration" manual:

   The toolchain we use is technically a cross-compiler: the tools run
   under 32-bit Windows but produce code to run under 64-bit Windows.

BTW, as reported here 
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2010-June/057668.html
in June, the following links in the Table of Contents of this manual
are broken:

   3.1.10 64-bit Windows builds
   C.4.1 64-bit Leopard builds
   D.4.1 32-bit toolchain
   D.4.2 64-bit toolchain

Seems like only the sections with a title starting with a digit have
this problem.

Cheers,
H.
