On Linux, works fine in either direction, though my recent 
efforts have been embedding R inside D, so the underlying library 
for that is much advanced over the older library for calling D 
from R. I've set up a simple html page here:

I've gotten most of it working on Windows, but it's been slow, 
since I don't use or understand that OS for development. I expect 
to have it working fully in the next couple weeks. It would 
probably be easy for someone with Windows experience to get it 
working now.
