absolutely.  One command (one click?) Sweave -> pdflatex would be  
extremely useful.  At least under Mac OS/X, an application like  
TeXniscope checks the state of the pdf file it is viewing, and will  
update the view as the pdf file changes; this has taken one or two  
less mouse movements and keystrokes in my work flow...  Right now  
when I edit Rnw files I bump out to the shell to up-arrow and  
carriage return for a Sweave.sh -ld <filename>; it would be great to  
have this bound to a keystroke and/or icon in ess and/or auctex  
etc...further improving the workflow...
