R help - Sep 2010 - documentation to upgrade R-package from 32 to 64bit

Dear all,

I am working with the an R-package named GAMLSS
(www.gamlss.com<http://www.gamlss.com>) it is currently only functional
under the 32-bit version of R (for windows)
The author of the package has agreed to help me create 64-bit compatible
version.
I've been looking through the available R-documentation but cannot find any
relevant information on the process.
Any help finding such documentation or any information on what the general
changes are that need to be implemented for a 32bit add-on package to work with
a 64bit version of R would be much appreciated.

Thanks you in advance for you help,
Daniel Hayes

Searching for "64 bit" in the Writing R Extensions manual finds a lot
of
advice, especially in the "Writing Portable Packages" section. 
I'd
start there.  There's also some advice in the Windows FAQ and a 
description of (and links to) the necessary tools on my 
www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools page, and in the "Building R for 64 
bit Windows" section of the admin manual.
