+1 . I am on it. I first need to further improve my knowledge in the
way we can do all thins platform independent and see with the emul
project maintainer how we can improve his work. Unfortunately for us,
he is busy working for a hedge in NY and doesn't know nothing  about
R. But it would make sense to gather everything in one place.
Sorry for my n00biness, but what is a VM ?
