     Yes, Christian Keller did a semi-port, which I had ``finished''
     long ago.
     When starting to experiment with it I found that it produced
     segfaults (in the Fortran code) semi-stochastically and I never
     found the time to figuring out why they happened.  I can have a
     look and provide
     my "bagplot" package as source package -- but not via CRAN as
     long the problems mentioned remain.
     Can you build R package from the sources?

   I have not built R package from the sources before, but there is
   always a first in everything. Send me the source package and I will
   give it a try.
