[R] Exporting summary plm results to latex

Hi A.K, 
thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it's not really what I'm looking for. 
I'm looking for a package or some function that can create the point estimate in the first row with the standard error in parenthesis in the second which is not what you normally get from the xtable package. 
Anyone with good ideas?

Best,
Sebastian

Otherwise, any ideas of how to solve this problem are very welcome. I almost exclusively use fixed effect panel models, and the problem of exporting results to Latex is one of the things preventing me from switching entirely from Stata to R.
