The lattice svn  already had an implementation
(panel.levelplot.raster), not yet released because grid.raster() is
r-devel only (and CRAN doesn't have a devel section, unlike bioc). I
have now also added a 'raster=FALSE/TRUE' option to
panel.smoothScatter().

Now that R 2.11 is around the corner, I will soon release a lattice
update with the raster version.
