I don't think you need to change anything in the generated file. At 
least I didn't, and I believe Brian Ripley mentioned that the script 
generated fully working init files for hundreds or thousands of packages 
with compiled code and only needed manual changes for tens of packages 
when they tested it on CRAN.

I agree that R-Hub is a great solution, and I have used it several times 
myself. You can even just use the website to submit a package:
https://builder.r-hub.io/advanced
But the R interface is nice, so it is recommendable to install the rhub 
package.
Alternatively, submitting to http://win-builder.r-project.org/ also lets 
you test under R-devel.

Best,
Ege
