Yes, that's why I use the suggested procedure that uses src/install.libs.R to copy compiled .exe files into bin<R_ARCH>/. So, eventually, I guess the answer to the original question is: no, one cannot make install.packages skip compilation of a source package, only if on Windows, without having Rtools installed -- and in PATH.
