Great, thanks - I think I'll push the new version out pretty soon.

Yes, sure, but there used to be issues with the Homebrew toolchain that caused 
a lot of trouble that didn't exist in the official R so all I'm saying is that 
your mileage may vary. I think the situation is improving as more people 
familiar with R are entering the HB community, but it used to be pretty bad 
hence my disclaimer :).

Thanks,
Simon
