You also need to collect the information. Much of it is only relevant to
building R on a Unix-alike: as the comment says
## <NOTE>

and they are extracted from ${R_HOME}/etc${R_ARCH}/Makeconf which does not
exist on Windows.
I think it is up to those who feel this is needed to contribute and
maintin the code.
