[BioC] Automation Server for R?

[Byron Ellis]

It's a particular type of COM Server... very similar (nearly identical 
in fact) to ActiveX controls, except that the control (in this case an 
entire application) tends to run out-of-process (as opposed to 
in-process as is the case with ActiveX). I suppose if someone was 
really desperate they could resurrect the code I wrote for, IIRC, R 
1.3.1 (it might even be checked into the madman tree somewhere) but it 
required changes to the R header files as it had to be compiled under 
VC++... I don't even know if it would work under VC.Net as they've 
changed things dramatically. It was also somewhat prone to catastrophic 
crashes even when it did work :-)
