Hi,

is it possible to add a custom script such that it is called via R CMD

looking for an non-admin alternative, so copying the script to
R_HOME/bin/ will not do (in case the user don't have enough permission
to write there).

I don't remember if this is platform independent,  but

R CMD foo

on Windows will set up standard environment variables then try to execute "foo". If "foo" isn't one of the internal commands listed by

R CMD --help

then it will just go looking for it like any other command in the path. (This is why "R CMD install" gives a funny error message: the internal command is "INSTALL", so "R CMD install" just tries to execute "install".)
