I don't know if you've noticed, but the building instructions for
Windows are quite different from the ones on Unix, in most cases.
When it comes to -R and such, I doubt it will be easy to add, since
the correct option is spelled differently with different ld
implementations, and I'm told it doesn't work properly on some systems
(I might be able to add more detail about that tonight).
