I have built RInside on Windows in the past. Including all the way down to
building the Qt examples (which at the time required building Qt locally with
Rtools).

I have not done so in quite some time as I don't work much on Windows.  There
is no reason to believe it would no longer work -- RInside is on CRAN, and is
being tested on the usual three (or four) operating systems:
