No, but you can check individual packages in a bundle (just set the
PKGDIR). However, there is a bug if a package has a tests directory, and
it can be fixed by altering the RDIFF line near the top of
src/gnuwin32/check/PkgCheck to be
RDIFF = $(RHOME)/bin/Rcmd Rdiff.sh
(This is fixed in the patched versions. Rdiff got altered fairly recently
and broke this.)

I think this is a Perl problem we have seen before. It works for me on NT
(and I think worked for Uwe Ligges too). Earlier versions (build 613, for
example) of Perl used to work on Win 98, but from ca 619 this happened.
The problem relates to the shell used by the system() command in Perl.
