As I see it, if one were to attempt to provide a drop-in replacement, one
would have to make sure existing use as eg

    PKG_LIBS = `$(R_HOME)/bin/Rscript -e "Rcpp:::LdFlags()"`

doesn't fail. A function LdFlags() returning an empty string may suffice. 

So this might not be the biggest concern for any transition.  Actual drop-in
behaviour might be more of an issue -- but that could be tested for.
