I can't build it:

[...]
g++ -I/usr/share/R/include -I/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/Rcpp/lib -I/usr/include     -fpic  -g -O3 -Wall -pipe -c read.cpp -o read.o

edd at ron:~/svn/rprotobuf$ ls /usr/include/google/protobuf/io/
coded_stream.h  gzip_stream.h  printer.h  tokenizer.h  zero_copy_stream.h  zero_copy_stream_impl.h

Version prior to 2.2 do not have the *_lite.h variants, I suppose.

We could require 2.2, but then we'd need to test for it too in configure.
