Yes, that would be another solution (under bash for me, should not be
difficult). But, hey, why not within LyX/LaTeX?

There is also rccol (I am reading about it right now...).

of course not!

Yes. Eigenvectors, result of a Principal Component Analysis derived
(exported as csv) from R and imported in LyX, many tables.

Yes, it can. But I want to keep the values just in case... and I thought
it would be less work to just round-up them up in LyX/LaTeX than produce
another table from R. Maybe it isn't that easy after all.

+ (very important) I am keen to learn how this is to be done in
LyX/LaTeX.
