[R] currency conversion function?

[Liviu Andronic]

Dear all
Is there any R function that would perform currency conversion using
up-to-date exchange rates? I would be looking for a function that
allows to download recent exchange rates (say, from Yahoo!) and then
use these in converting currencies (say, USD to EUR).

I am not sure whether r-sig-finance would be more appropriate, but the
(off-)topic feels general enough to me. Thank you
Liviu
