Mark,

I disagree.
This "slimmed-down" file points you to the thorough Chapter "Installing 
R under Windows" in the "`R Installation and Administration' manual in 
the doc/manual directory". Quite at the top of Section "Building from 
source" there is the Subsection "Getting the tools".

I think we do NOT want to point people to Duncan's page at first, or 
they would not read the more comprehensive manual any more.

Uwe
