Simon, That's very interesting, but as you know Java installation can be quite problematic. (It looks like the current Sun JVM 1.4.2_03 has several issues, including not working with the R search engine, and a warning on mozilla.org about its Windows plugin.)
We bundled a version of Tcl/Tk with the R Windows binary to try to avoid compatibility issues, and even then I would prefer a native Windows solution for this one.
