    \item Applied patch by Jelmer Ypma which adds an output stream class
        'Rcout' not unlike std::cout, but implemented via Rprintf to
        cooperate with R and its output buffering.

We will have a new release 0.9.16 "real soon now" and will also have Rcerr
thanks to something Romain put into SVN today.

That may still fail _as a global substitution_ as we do not have all iostream
manipulators implemented.  Contributions would be welcomed!
