[R] Is there a way to use CGIwithR in Windows?

[David Firth]

I guess it's possible to run bash and standard unix-type tools in 
recent versions of Windows?  (see for example http://www.cygwin.com ?  
I know nothing of such things, though.)  If so then with perhaps some 
minor modifications it "ought" to be possible to get the wrapper 
shell-script R.cgi to work -- provided your http server supports CGI of 
course.  Do let me know if you succeed!

Regards,
David
