Two things:

i)  _Every_ R package which needs a Makevars _on Windows_ uses
    src/Makevars.win -- see "Writing R Extensions"

ii) If one needs GNU make, one can declare the dependency in DESCRIPTION via
    SystemRequirements: -- again, see "Writing R Extensions"

And we have just that:

    SystemRequirements: GNU make, Windows: cmd.exe and cscript.exe, Solaris: 
g++ is required

Does that answer your question?  If not, did you look at user reverse-depends
of RcppParallel and examine what they do?  One can often copy working
solution s from other packages...
