You are building R from the sources, right?

Then, of course it is easily possible: Just modify your version
of the R source code appropriately:

It is file  <R>/src/library/utils/R/help.start.R

(And you need more changes anyway to make things work under Cygwin;
 but don't ask me about it: I do run R on Windows only very rarely)
