mzR uses Rcpp modules to directly call/use the C++ code from proteowizard to read mzML, mzXML and other MS file formats. Regarding selective includes: I believe Steffen Neumann and Laurent Gatto spent already a great deal of time to reduce the amount of code that needs to be included for mzR to compile/work. I think there is not much more that can be done here, unfortunately.
