Yes, Christian Keller did a semi-port, which I had ``finished''
long ago.
When starting to experiment with it I found that it produced
segfaults (in the Fortran code) semi-stochastically and I never
found the time to figuring out why they happened.  I can have a look and provide
my "bagplot" package as source package -- but not via CRAN as
long the problems mentioned remain.
Can you build R package from the sources?
