For those who have developed packages before:

What would it take to build a set of wrappers in R to the ta-lib library
referenced by John earlier ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/ta-lib )?

That project seems quite complete and mature (although I have only had a
chance to read through the online docs) - and seems easily callable from R
(as it is all available as C/C++ from what I can tell)

I haven't personally developed anything beyond what I use myself, but I
wouldn't mind trying to give something back to R in the way of a
contribution or two.

Any comments/advice about the time/difficulty of doing the above?
