I reported this issue to R-devel about ten days ago.

Yes, it's been there for a few weeks. I suspect Uwe has a more complete
set of environment variables than most people, and some of those could

As for me, I rarely develop packages on Windows any more.
Now that Microsoft is pushing their R products so much, you'd think they
could contribute some time to supporting their platform.
