I've put a first version of colSums etc in R-devel.  At present I have
concentrated on getting the details right (like handing NAs correctly,
handling integer and complex input ...) as well as full S+ compatibility.

I suspect that for speed one should be using BLAS routines, but so far
I've done no optimization.  Indeed, not even of the C code since in my
experience compilers are better at that than humans.

As I said, just a first pass!
