Assuming you have ghostscript, pstoedit might help.  This converts Postscript
to various vector and bitmap formats, including DXF (so says the man page,
anyway -- I've only ever used it for fig format).  pstoedit can be found at

A one-step from R would definately be nicer -- as Prof. Ripley pointed
out, a call for volunteers at this point is in order.

Cheers
