Not really.  I have done it based on how littler [1] works, and I am
basically doing the same from C++ -- I form R expression that I 'send' to R
and I use Dominick's under-appreciated RCpp (on CRAN) to easily convert R and
C++ data structures.  Poking around in the RCpp examples and the littler code
should get you started.

As for the data handover, this is more or less the same as 'normal' exchange
between R and C/C++ functions -- so the R-Exts manual, and the RCpp
documentation can help.

I hope to have something more to show, share and talk about for the UseR
tutorial I'll give.

In the interim, another choice may be RServe by Simon which you can run on
the local computer too.

Hope this helps,  Dirk
