Don't be embarassed by this - when it works RC is ok, but it's definitely not
a winner in the useful error message department when it doesn't.

Well, I can't be positive about 1.3, but I know with the 1.2 toolkit there
was a problem with the resource compiler that if the directory containing
RCPP.EXE was more than 128 bytes (or so) down your PATH specification, it
couldn't find the file to load.  So if you have a very long PATH set up, try
moving the directory containing the toolkit binaries earlier in the PATH and
see if the run succeeds.
