Well, I didn't know about rubber before I read your script ... seems like the 2 do the same job. Some windows installations have a tool called "texify" which again does the same: run latex, bibtex, etc. as many times as needed. Ad shell vs. R: In R we already have almost all that is needed: example(Sweave) library(tools) texi2dvi("Sweave-test-1.tex") should do what you want ... and a Snw2dvi function is the corresponding 2-liner. If there is need for it I'm happy to include it in package utils.
