R help - Oct 2009 - IRLS or other iteratively re weighted optimization algorithms with constraints in R

Dear list,

is there an iterative re weighted least square based algorithm or any or other 
iteratively re weighted optimisation algorithms for non linear (and possibly 
non parametric) optimisation problems with constraints available in R?

Regards
