One suggestion you have probably already considered, but: why not R CMD
BATCH the script? You can set up an executable to do that. No need to
compile the actual R code.

If you want to hide the code and/or it has interaction, you can also set it
up on a web or intranet server for them, calling the R.so or R.dll from a
simple .NET or python script or something like that..

just some ideas,
