Correct: there's no standard C-style interface.
The windows binaries really just include enough to use the python
wrappers; they don't include DLLs.

There's nothing along those lines planned, but it's still pretty easy. :-)
This wiki page has instructions for doing a windows build:
http://code.google.com/p/rdkit/wiki/BuildingOnWindows
Since you aren't interested in doing a Python build, you can ignore
everything python-related. When you run the cmake GUI, just uncheck
the RDK_BUILD_PYTHON_WRAPPERS variable after you run configure for the
first time, then re-run configure.
