[R] Port package

[roger koenker]

A more accurate wording,  I believe, would be "Port Library"  see:

	http://www.bell-labs.com/project/PORT/

Martin  will correct me if there really is a package!!

Unfortunately, the licensing link is broken on the URL above and
it would be interesting to know what the status of licensing really
is, since there were/are lots of useful things in this library.
