[R] Only referenc copy when calling C routine?

[Liaw, Andy]

My understanding is that if DUP=FALSE, no copying is done in either
direction.

If you want to avoid copying, the .Call interface is probably more suitable,
as you pass the actual R objects to the C function.  I'm not familiar with
that, though.
