[R] R in ConTeXt

[Paul Johnson]

I will test this out, but I'd like to point out that there is probably
an easier way.

Using LyX configured with Rweave, my students and I have had very good
luck generating documents that incorporate R graphics.  Like you
propose, it is a one-file approach.  I have example lyx and pdf output
files online in http://pj.freefaculty.org/stat/Distributions and there
is a guide to configure LyX so this works in a seemingly apparent way
on the LyX wiki:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyxWithRThroughSweave.  We worked out a
Windows scheme to do the same, but I did not document it.
