[R-SIG-Finance] process order-book/trade data

[Brian G. Peterson]

- Use xts, it can handle millions of observations in memory
- Process one symbol or group of symbols at a time
- use to.period() to create OHLC(V) data from tick data
- for bid/ask quote data, use to.period on the bids and asks separately.
