[R] warning about libraries for MS

[Jim Lindsey]

It is now definitely established that there are problems with library
executables under MS-Windows when compiled as described in
package.readme, at least for Fortran code. In extreme cases, R
crashes, but the result can simply be wrong answers as both Philippe
Lambert and I warned about a year ago, warnings that were blissfully
ignored.

I have not used any other executables for MS from CRAN, and so have no
direct evidence of problems, but I recommend extreme caution when using
them if Fortran code is involved.
