[R] power for repeated-measures ANOVA lacking sphericity

Is there a function that calculates the power of a
repeated-measure ANOVA design, e.g., 2 groups, 4
within-subject factors, an average 0.40 correlation between
the 4 within factors, etc.

I don't think I can use power.anova.test() because it does
not consider corr=0.40.  

I am hoping that someone has already implemented the method
by Muller & Barton (1989, JASA 84: 549-555) on how to
approximate statistical power for a univariate test in
repeated-measures ANOVAs when the sphericity assumption is
not met.  If not, perhaps the MANOVA approach by O'Brien &
Kaiser (1985, Psych Bull: 97, 316-33).  

library(pwr) does not seem to support either.  
Many thanks in advance,

Yuelin Li.
