R devel - May 2005 - Building R for windows tools link

Hello!

I think that link to page of Duncan Murdoch (bellow) should be given

http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/

at 

http://developer.r-project.org/. 

It's easy to launch Google and find mentioned page, but it took me quite 
some time to do this, because I was sure, that it is noted somewhere on
{www,CRAN}.r-project.org. Maybe I didn't read carefully ...

Lep pozdrav / With regards,
    Gregor Gorjanc

Are you saying that it is given incorrectly?  I can't see it.
That site is for the development of R, not for users building R, so it 
does not seem appropriate to link from there.

It _is_ in the R-admin manual, the place building R for Windows is 
discussed (as from 2.1.0).  Apart from in that manual I am unaware of it 
being on the main R web sites.
