[R] Windows binary version of DPpackage

[Prof Brian Ripley]

The package does not install under Windows: see

http://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-release-windows-ix86/DPpackage-00check.html

The maisntainer has been informed (probably many times via the 
automated notification system).  With 1700 packages, the volunteers 
have no time to spend correcting packages for non-responsive 
maintainers (we do quite a lot for responsive ones).

The posting guide suggested you contact him first: did you get a 
response?

Follow the rw-FAQ, set yourself up to compile source packages, try 
this one, find the errors, correct them, use the package you compiled.

Only if the maintainer submits a corrected version.
