CRAN?

[gaborcsardi]

I need to access a bunch of Windows APIs, and this is difficult from C++, because MinGW does not support them. This package seems to be a nice way to access them via C#.

Any chances to submit it to CRAN?

The build system would need to be changed, as the CRAN machines do not have VS AFAIK. However, it is OK to download pre-built binaries at install time, when windows binary packages are built.

E.g. the curl package does this:

Hi,

Thank you for the suggestion about getting binaries at install time - much appreciated. I thought this would go against CRAN's in principle if not by the letter but maybe I should reconsider.
Due to work requirements I have done little with .NET for a couple of years - I'll try to pick it up a bit over the next few months.
