You have access to dweibull and pweibull etc at the C++ level, even two ways. 

One is via Rcpp sugar, see the vignette and previous discussions on this list.

The other is via the standard R math functions where you would have to prefix
via Rf_ (or even ::Rf_) to avoid confusion with the sugar functions. In other
words call ::Rf_pweibull.  That is basically as documented in 'Writing R
Exentions' with the added qualifier of needing to use the Rf_ prefix.

Hope this helps,  Dirk
