The VC++ IDE is only used to build the DLL's (and check that everything can be compiled). These DLL's can simply be copied over the ones created by MinGW, and R will handle them without problems. This required some DLL special processing, and the fact that it works is surprising given the comments in http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MixingCompilers. I did not test the possibility of running R inside the IDE as this would require building R inside the IDE, which I have not tried to do.
