I think it's because multicore and doMC are not supported on Windows.
Most of the functionality of these packages can be found in the
'parallel' package, however, which is part of R and is cross-platform.
The package will make it into release, it just won't have a windows
binary available unless multicore and doMC are dropped.

Hi Leo,

Looks like you have done some work towards this. I removed 'doMC' from
DESCRIPTION and the package builds and checks fine on Windows. I do
see the following in check, which  is probably something you want to
investigate:

* checking R code for possible problems ... NOTE
detect.responses: no visible global function definition for '%dopar%'
detect.responses: no visible global function definition for 'foreach'
plot.data: no visible global function definition for 'melt'

I'm sorry I didn't notify you of this problem when it arose and
instead marked the package as unsupported on windows. I should have
contacted you; that's what I normally do in cases like this.

In any case, I have removed the "unsupported on windows" designation
so the package will make it into release on all three platforms.
Thanks,
Dan
