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?
