The Makefile handling of both is somewhat cumbersome as it stands. I myself have never felt the need to embed libR in C or C++ and if had to, I would probably turn to Rcpp. Upstream R can also be built without base packages, just the basic environment. Adding such an option to math/R might be a good replacement for both libR* ports. Cheers, Fernando
