   The mtable function in the memisc package by Martin Elff comes pretty 
close to what you want:

library(memisc)

(mtable123 <- mtable("Model 1"=lm0,"Model 2"=lm1,"Model 3"=lm2))

Calls:
Model 1: lm(formula = sr ~ pop15 + pop75, data = LifeCycleSavings)
Model 2: lm(formula = sr ~ dpi + ddpi, data = LifeCycleSavings)
Model 3: lm(formula = sr ~ pop15 + pop75 + dpi + ddpi, data = 
LifeCycleSavings)
