[Rcpp-devel] Review request: Sandboxed R integration via RInside

[Christian Authmann]

Hello,

I've developed a solution to integrate R into an application in a safer 
way than the direct integration provided by RInside. It is conceptually 
similar to RServe: the application does not link to R, but communicates 
with a different process where R is running. Securing the separate 
process is much easier.

Unlike RServe, my solution has the full power of Rcpp/RInside: one can 
communicate custom data types, and one can even allow the R code to call 
back into provided C++ functions.

I've made a pull request, but the code is complex enough to need a few 
more eyes before merging. Please read and comment, either on github or 
via email!

If you cannot comment on the code, but think this could be useful for 
you, please let me know.

Thanks!
