Subjects almost says it all.  
Most plugins require / will require R2HTML, so  
R2HTML is almost a necessary requirement for  
rkward. Still, calling   
require \("R2HTML"\)  
explicitly \(in the "printout \(\)"-section\) has the 
advantage, that - if the user  
does not have that library installed - rkward will  
display a prompt and the package-installation  
dialog.

For simplicity's sake, though, let's advocate the use of
"rk.print\(x\)", which is just like "HTML\(x\)", but with a
"require" before. Plugins should use rk.print whenever
possible. Anyway, it's better to encapsulate R2HTML, as we
might some day want to use something else.

Done. Of course output in general is still a major 
point of inconsistency, and will need much more 
consideration. That's a separate issue, however.
