Are post-hoc tests being developed for R?

Here is code for three p-value based post hoc tests: bonferroni, holm, and
hochberg. Holm is better than Bonferroni under all circumtances. Hochberg
is more powerful than Holm, but under some slightly pathological
situations it can exceed the nominal Type I error rate.
I haven't looked at this code for a long time, but I think it works
correctly. Refeerences for the methods are in "Adjusted p-values for
simultaneous inference" by S. Paul Wright in Biometrics some time in
the early 90s (I'm in the wrong country at the moment so I don't have the
full reference).
