Perhaps so.
The version of current optim package is 1.3.0.

The optim-1.2.2 (which are bundled in src directory) seems to be the previous 
optim package.

The requirements of struct and parallel packages perhaps begin at optim-1.3.0.
At the moment, we inevitably use optim-1.2.2 if we want use optim package on 
windows.
