Works for me (R-1.6.1, pcre 3.9, Mingw 2.0.0-3, WinNT 4.0): 
Complete build of R, its (recommended) packages, the installer, as well
as a successful 'make fullcheck'.

You have to follow the instructions in INSTALL *_exactly_* (e.g.
collecting _all_ the tools, setting _all_ the paths in the _right
order_, ...).

Hint: Read each line carefully and mark it as "done", if the
instructions are fullfilled exactly.
There will be at least one line (I guess) you cannot mark.
