It's hard for me to believe that any package designed to be used on a  
Windows emulator would be able to access XCode facilities. I'm always  
learning new things however.

I'm guessing not very many people on this list are running R under

certainly free to slow it down, but you really should post a complete  
problem description in any case.)
