R help - Jul 2010 - ROpenOffice (which requires Rcompression)

Hello, for my data preparation and administration (data, labels, etc.) I use
OpenOffice.org ODS spreadsheet files with several sheets in one file. However, I
find it inconvenient to export every single sheet to a csv file whenever I apply
changes to the labelling or so, and I haven't found a plugin or an
application which does this batch in OOorg. Is there new development on a direct
import package for ODS files? I've googled around one afternoon, found
ROpenOffice (http://www.omegahat.org/ROpenOffice/) which requires Rcompression
(http://www.mail-archive.com/r-help at r-project.org/msg55480.html), which in
turn is quite outdated. Is the whole idea dead or did I miss something important
when googling?

*S*

(R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31), x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0)
