Right. And I think there is little we can do -- the PATH has to be there for
the dll files to be found so that the executable can run.
| * R_HOME needs to be set.
That one is odder. It definitely is found on Linux, and set. From my build
directory:
"R_HOME","/usr/lib64/R",
Is R_HOME set inside your file RInsideEnvVars.h (which we generate during the
build process). Maybe there is a bug there.

Also not sure why .Rprofile doesn't work.

| make -f Makefile.win
| to work. Fine.
Because we query Rcpp and RInside from R about their locations. So the
location must be known.

Is that related to setting environment variables, and have it take effect
only for new shells / command windows?
