R help - Mar 2007 - Makeconf on Windows - where?

Read in the Windows release notes for 2.4.0 that:

  There is a new file etc/Makeconf that provides an
  approximation to the Unix version and may help with
  src/Makefile's.

Yet when I look at the CRAN binary I have for 2.4.1patched,
there are five files in the $R_HOME/etc directory, but no
Makeconf. Is the file only available with custom installs?

That may be an oversight that it never got added to the build script for 
the installer.  I'll take a look and see if it would be useful with a 
binary install.
