[R] Export R output in Excel

[Spencer Graves]

       The "writeFindFn2xls" function in the sos package include 3 
different ways to write an Excel workbook, depending on which packages, 
etc., you have installed.  I wrote that, because I could not find one 
contributed package that as easy to install on every operating system.  
This writes an Excel workbook with 3 sheets. That may not be what you 
want, but it might provide other options.
