Actually this is a paid package and developer was reluctant to distribute the source. Therefore I was exploring whether I could do something by myself. So you are talking about some tools. Are those tools available somewhere over Net, or if it is not still available, is there any plan in any future from R core team to build such one? Thanks,

Actually, it may be possible (and I am not sure without reading the sources): One could read, implant and write back the databases, but we do not have the tools to do that easily, hence some work would be needed to find out. Anyway, it simply does not make sense to mess around given you just need to ask for the source package in order to change the stuff.
