This, in fact, may be an issue. Although R is regarded as «cross-platform», it 
does rely on native DLLs.

In fact, I suppose I will call R as a native process by using 
Process.Start("R") in batch mode. This is rather quick & dirty *sigh*, but in 
fact cross-platform.

I only know that there is a Java binding for R (which is a nightmare to 
install), but I have never heard of a .NET binding.
