[R] Sample from a hazard function

[Christian Lederer]

Dear R-gurus,

is there a simple way to simulate of random deviates with a given hazard function? 
Of course, one could do it by foot by calculating the inverse distribution function, 
but perhaps someone knows a package which provides this (perhaps using a more
elegant method).

Christian :-)
