Khanh is quite correct: RInside is self-contained. It also doesn't get much
simpler than the examples we show.

It used to have a Suggests: on Rcpp but now has a Depends: on it. That said,
a few things:

   - David probably chose to ignore the big bold signs that tell him to use
     gcc (in the mingw implementation).  Insisting on visual whatever buys
     you nothing as R requires gcc and mingw. No ifs or buts. gcc/g++ it is.

   - We made a lot of changes between RInside 0.2.1 (which worked on Windows) 
     and the current 0.2.2 for which the example build but then segfault. I
     suspect some initialization of static variables issue or something like
     it. I'd welcome debugging assistance from anyone with more interest in
     Windows than Romain and I have.

   - Again, a working example is provided by RInside 0.2.1, possibly coupled
     with a matching Rcpp release as e.g. 0.7.1

   - Other simpler examples are provided in the R sources under tests/Embedding
