[Rcpp-devel] Rcpp advocacy question -- build environment

| Rgui.bat, R.bat and Rcmd.bat in the batchfiles distribution
| automatically locate R, Rtools and temporarily set all environment
| variables and modify your path appropriately each time you call R so
| the whole process is just install R, install Rtools, place Rgui.bat,
| R.bat and Rcmd.bat anywhere on your path (or some subset of them if
| you don't use them all)  The Windows PATH command will give you a list

RStudio does something similar, and JJ kindly carried that code over to
sourceCpp() in Rcpp so one gets it there too.
