[R-pkg-devel] Adding .exes to R package?
PS I don't know if you would be allowed to include a utility function to be run manually by users after setup that would download binaries from a trusted source and put them in an appropriate/findable place on the user's system.

Folks:
What is the policy on adding Windows executables to an R package? My gdalUtils package could REALLY use this ability (right now it requires users to manually install GDAL which can cause headaches for folks). Related: what about linux/mac executables?
Are there reasonable tutorials on how to do this?
