Great. Welcome here.

Perhaps. Also see Rcpp.package.skeleton to make a small package. The 
Rcpp-package vignette will certainly help you (please tell us if it does 
not).

Although we have received a patch going in the MSVC direction, this is 
not supported. You would have to first find how to build R with MSVC, 
and it appears you cannot.

There is no need for a Makefile. Just start with :

 > require( Rcpp )
 > Rcpp.package.skeleton( "wonderland" )

and then :

$ R CMD INSTALL wonderland

This should all work fine if you have Rtools installed, which you can 
get from : http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/
