R help - Apr 2011 - Overlaying images at nodes of phylogenetic tree

Can you recommend an R library that will help me create a diagram of a 
phylogenetic tree on which specific images are placed at appropriate nodes of 
the tree?

For example, I have specific image files associated with each member of the 
phylogenetic tree, and I would like to automate the display of the image next to
the correct node of the tree.  I can provide an image file with an example.

Thanks!

A couple of possibilities:

The rasterImage function (in the graphics package)

The my.symbols and ms.image functions in the TeachingDemos package.
