R help - Sep 2006 - How to generating diagnal blocks ?

Hi,
     I am trying to creat a matrix with diagnal blocks, say, I have a matrix X
of any dimension (nxm) ,and would like to have:
                                                   
                                                            X
                                                                X
                                                                    X
                                                                      .....
otherwise space filled with 0's.   Is there a handy way to do this ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

If I remember well, there should be a package including the function 
bdiag() making the job..but I am not able to remember its name..

However a quick search via RSiteSearch("bdiag") yields

Hope this helps you,
