[R] Rmetrics, RQuantlib

[Diethelm Wuertz]

Dear Rmetrics User,

Rmetrics is currently availalble as source and binary packages for all 4 
packages fBasics, fSeries, fExtremes and fOptions
(for Windows).
Linux, Mac )X - Currently I remove all Windows specific parts from the 
sources. If the packages pass all checks I will
move the packages to the CRAN server. Please apologize if this takes 
some more time.

RQuantlib offers a lot of material for financial engineers.  It is 
especially strong for American options. I would also be happy
to see it on CRAN (compiled) and hopefully somebody helps me to make it 
usable from Rmetrics.
