Subject: integrate into R's event loop, possibly
X-Git-Url: http://christophe.rhodes.io/gitweb/?p=swankr.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=ab6021d4671892eabc80b7cde045db632176116e;ds=sidebyside

integrate into R's event loop, possibly

in readPacket, call socketSelect() before actually trying to read on
the connection.  This seems to allow R to update graphics windows and
other such niceties.

It would be nice to be able to preserve the (inferior) R REPL as well,
but I haven't yet discovered whether that's possible.
