R devel - Apr 2015 - Bug 15899 - Omitted 'extern' on 'R_running_as_main_program' after refactor can cause linker errors for applications embedding R

I have addressed it now,  for the moment for R-devel only.
I will port the patch to "R 3.2 patched" (which should become R

Thank you for the reminder.
