Hi Indrajit

As somebody above already mentioned, the full build script as well as
MkRules.local that we use for the CRAN releases of R for windows are
available from https://github.com/rwinlib/base

As is explained in the repository readme, if you have the required
dependencies (rtools, miktex innosetup, strawberry perl) all you need
to do is run the build-r-devel.bat script from the root of the
repository.

Once you got this to work, you can adapt it to your needs.
