Ah. Yes, we should do something about that. Maybe automatically
add the R-bin dir to the PATH if it's not already there. This is
a Windows-specific problem, I take it?
I've added a function maybe_print_R_path_addition() in
lib/src/gretl_win32.c, but I'm not making use of it yet.
I have a few questions before I activate this code. Is it overkill
to add the R "bin", "modules" and "lib" directories to
PATH? Can
we get away with just adding the "bin" directory? And if we use
this, should it go into the Rsrc file?
