The only thing that might not work is the IE modal dialog support, since we've tied into a custom version of win32ole.so, which I've recompiled from version to version. At this point, it's similar in nasty scope to recompiling jssh, and worthy of a better solution. Jarmo, does RAutomation support IE modals? If so, we should replace the current hacks with that.
