I think all you need to do is download the SDK:
http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sdk/index.html
then read and understand both the 900 page OpenOffice SDK manual, and
everything there is to know about R internals. Then write an extension
for OpenOffice Calc that uses UNO to communicate between Calc and the R
library. You'll probably have to use C++.
The spreadsheet section of the SDK doc starts at page 535, by the way...
Or is there a quicker way?
