Please do re-read the rw-FAQ Q4.1 for advice!

The eha binary on CRAN was built on Sept 12, before the release of 2.2.0
(and before the beta period).  It needs to be built under 2.2.0, when it
will work.  (Uwe, could you please trigger rebuilds as some things were
changed in the alpha period, including the version of the mingw-runtime
that is required.)
