  At the best of my knowledge, wavetresh hasn't be ported to R.
  I don't know it so I don't know how much work is required
  to made wavetresh working with R.
  If you have time, and if the package is really under a license
  that let this, I would suggest to try to pack wavetresh 
  as a R package WORKING UNDER LINUX (or some other fashion of Unix).
  Look to the R-Faq and to some of the module available in CRAN
  for what is needed (for a `polite' S module this can be as
  easy as (1) re-structuring the directories in the way R expects them;
  (2) converting (automagically) the documentation; (3) make some
  moderate make-up to the Makefile).
  Then, I would like to help you with the MsWindows part.
  
  I forward this message to r-help hoping that someone
  can give you some more advice.
