I an going over the rcpp documentation now and reviewing the R documentation on extensions as well.  Is there anything in particular that I should keep in mind while doing this or is this relatively straightforward.

It should be pretty straightforward.  There are lots of examples of

"reverse XXXX" on https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=Rcpp (where XXXX is 
Depends, Imports, Suggests, or LinkingTo).
