Actually, the windows instructions are getting easier. There's an
'Rtools installer' here

http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/installer.html

Apparently, this provides everything required to build and install
packages (but not documentation) on Windows. Install R. Then run the
installer, choosing 'Package authoring installation' when asked to
select components, and then

c:\MyDir> R CMD INSTALL --docs=none custommice

I have not set up a system 'naive' enough to know that this works
completely smoothly, and would love to hear any feedback.
