Dear r-help-
precompiled binary versions of your package, but rather that these
are built for you by someone working with CRAN.  I submitted my
package using R CMD build but without the binary flag on.  I'd like
to have a binary version available for Windows users. Should I submit
a precompiled binary version as well?

many thanks!

No, as it said.  If your package passes its tests on those platforms, 
binary versions for Windows and MacOS X appear automatically (thanks to 
Uwe Ligges and Stefano Iacus).  They even get updated for new R versions 
(and R 2.1.0 is imminent) when otherwise new submissions would be needed.

(You could have asked CRAN at r-project.org about CRAN questions rather than 
the world.)
