It is probably wiser to use the last of 2.8 (i.e. 2.8.1patched)
That seems to be buggy - anyhow, I said to build win32 R package you need to
have the win32 R.dll, I don't mean you have to build it yourself. You can just
take it out of the official win32 R installer.

The instruction for cross-compiling R packages is in a file called
"README.packages" or some such under src/gnuwin32 . The file was removed in R
2.9.x (as the content is no longer supported).
BTW, you have not shown your affiliation nor the reason why you want to go this
way - and I am reluctant to do one-on-one hand-holding on annonymity. So please
keep the CC:, or arrange for commercial consultancy.
