There are two general approaches that could be taken here -- one would
be server-side, to use the R PHP interface (assumed it is any good)
that was just announced on r-help. 

The other approach, which I prefer (but it's just me, perhaps), would
be to use BASE as a backing-store for computing on.

We'd briefly talked by email before, Lao, but I've not had a chance to
follow up.  I'd be interested in being in the loop on any proposals,
in case I might be able to contribute.
