So, this is a donation to the R project, right?
I'm about to incorporate it into R-devel which will become R
1.8.0 in October.

That looks pretty good.

We'll need some experiments to check if it's ok.
I'll try some plausibility checks and then plan to compare
    pt(*, ncp= NN)  with  integrate("dt(*, ncp=NN)").

Thanks again for your contribution -- in the name of the R community!
