Well, we do have a "special relationship" with R, so generalising this 
(which may include octave, gnuplot... whatever) requires a bit of 
planning. For example, the way we launch R is hardwired. In the case of, 
say, ox, the user should have a way to tell gretl where the executable is, 
and so on. I'd say, let's focus on R right now and postpone the 
generalisation for 1.7.5++.
