Indirectly, though, as you can check in .First.lib.
Yes, you can check in .First.lib, or in configure.win, or whereever, *BUT* that does not help, e.g., for the CRAN repository.
If I am compiling under 2.1.0 release, the package will fail my checks.
If I would be compiling under R-patched, it will not fail the checks, but don't work for several users who probably do not want to use un-released versions of R.
I think the best way is to wait for the next release of R.
Is there a schedule for R-2.1.1, BTW?
Uwe
But as Uwe notes, the "versioned Depends" (as we call that in Debian) does
not exist for CRAN packages or R itself.
