[R-pkgs] rPref - new package for preferences and Skylines

[Patrick Roocks]

rPref is a new package for Skyline computation and some slight 
generalizations (database preferences).

The Skyline of a dataset selects tuples which are Pareto-optimal with 
respect to given optimization goals. Only those tuples are returned, 
which are not dominated by any other tuple. A tuple dominates another 
tuple if it is better than another tuple in all relevant dimensions 
(strictly better at least in one dimension).

rPref offers efficient Skyline computation (algorithms are in C++) and 
some related stuff (e.g. maxima of other preference orders, top-k 
preference selection, some tools for visualization).
