[R-gui] Platform-independent GUI for R... again

[A.J. Rossini]

No, you can build it.  There are a number of variations on the theme,
ranging from using Emacs widgets (as David mentioned), to using
R/S-PLUS as the backend for a spreadsheet within Emacs (old, old
work), to using ESS to instantiate tcl/tk GUIs, to whatever.

Just use your imagination ;-).

But in all seriousness, it's not nearly as limiting as you are
imagining, and much more flexible than most of the examples you've
given.  There is always the problem of coding, though...
