Subject: [Rd] Using `--configure.args` with configure.win on Windows
Message-ID: <CAD6tx96HyN3bne-NqumUJr-J+XBK3jH+Yoio0+=wpcXe=J1C8w@mail.gmail.com>

Looking at the code for `R CMD INSTALL` [1] it looks like
`--configure-args` is not used on Windows, so there is not a way to pass
arguments to the `configure.win` script like there is for `configure`.

Is this lack intentional or simply an oversight because support for
configure.win was added later?
