Or perhaps start a different paradigm for adding function to PSPP (still need developers but maybe fewer): The big advantage of SPSS in my eyes was and is ease of use so why not focus on the front-end role of PSPP and put developer time there and leave the backend processing to R-Project for the calculating side of the task. That is, develop a general hook from PSPP into R (?start with generating R batch files and then bring R output back into PSPP) and focus on PSPP commands to drive that hook? There is an approach to pivot tables in R http://www.rforexcelusers.com/make-pivottable-in-r/ <http://www.rforexcelusers.com/make-pivottable-in-r/> which could perhaps be a starter for basic CTABLES back-end functionality?
