Thanks. Looks like I have some more reading to do. I did know 
about embedr, but I saw it had dependencies and I wanted a 
standalone and fully transparent D solution. I'm already calling 
R routines from D using standalone Rmath and being able to call D 
from R and D have independent full access to R's internals would 
be awesome. But your package certainly provides very useful 
information.

The reference to R's dyn.load internals looks useful and relevant 
and I'll be trying those once I get the time. Probably during the 
weekend.
