Is it? I cannot find it.

A quick hack would be something like

 a <- rnorm(10)
 b <- rnorm(10)
 boxplot(a, b)
 segments(1:2 - 0.4, mm <- c(mean(a), mean(b)), 
     1:2 + 0.4, mm, col = "red")

(with the default boxwidth of 0.8 and the placement of the middle of
boxes at 1, 2, ... )

A cleaner solution would be to change the R code of bxp().

Well, I cannot find plot.design anywhere; in which package is it
included?
