This is a basic attempt to develop the framework for embedding R
inside Octave and vie-versa. This will allow users of one system to
access functionality in the other in the natural syntax and style of
the host system. In other words, Octave users will see R functions as
if they were regular Octave functions, and likewise R users will be
able to call Octave functions as if they were regular R functions.

The model/framework for this integration is the same as the one we
have developed for general inter-system interfaces and used to
implement the Java, Perl, Python, JavaScript connections.  See
Docs/model.tex for a description.

It is unlikely that I will finish this immediately. The hope is that
someone else will fill in the details, given the framework. I'd be
extremely happy to help in this endeavor if someone volunteers.
