This sounds like a question for the developers of the python packaging utilities, i have no clue what the installer does, i just build it using setup.py.
The good news is that building rpy2 from source is not that hard. All you need is MSYS and MINGW, then 'python setup.py install' will get you there. There are a few issues with R-2.8.0 but you can find workarounds in the list archive.
