Good news -- we have already done most of the work -- add R 
linkages and you are done:

     http://www.trading-shim.org/

The code is available under the GPL, and commercial licenses 
and SLAs are also available.  I would _love_ for you to join 
us in getting those R bindings worked out.

The Mailing list is free to subscribe to; a bug tracker 
exists; anonymous FTP access to the code exists, and all the 
rest that are the hallmarks of an open source project.

It can no doubt be fit into a VMWare instance, anthough I have 
not done so yet - that is on my personal 'TODO' list, so that 
Windows users are supported.
