Read the R documentation manual "Writing R Extensions" to learn the basics
about packages and they are created.

Read the vignette "Rcpp-package" to learn about creating a package with Rcpp
(hint: use Rcpp.package.skeleton).

Stick callFunction() in that package.

(Note though that just because you call an R function from C++ does NOT
accelerate that R function. It is still an R function, and as fast or slow as
before. But yes, you can call it from C++.)
