I believe it's Uwe that's been providing the Windows binaries for packages. [The reason for cc to R-devel:] Would it make sense to have platform specific packages in a separate area on CRAN? I don't know of anything other than Windows that understand COM. Having the source for rcom in the general area seems a bit strange to me. The install.packages() function on windows will only handle pre-compiled packages, so I don't really see much point in having the source for rcom in the general contrib area... Just my $0.02...
