It was a guess of mine, the code may also fail to build for other reasons.

But I think it would be preferable for you to keep the repo buildable ;-) 
So let's fix this now before adding further pull requests, or expanding the
current one.

win-builder has not changed in a while, and RQuantLib passed all tests when
uploaded.  CRAN also continues to build and test once released --- the best
of why knowledge would be encoded on src/Makevars.win.  And as you can see
there are no particular switches. 

Can you remind me what the issue is, then?   Boost usage from R tends to
issue copious __warnings__ about long long but still builds.  I may have been
refering to suppressing the warning by turning on C++11, but I am not doing
that yet for RQuantLib.

Hope this clarifies things and helps,  Dirk
