R help - Feb 2012 - Using {tabularx} latex package with the {xtable} package?

I am trying to solve the problem of having a latex table (produced using
the xtable <http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/xtable/index.html>,
then
inserted to a latex file using Sweave), exceeding the margins of my LaTeX
document.

I found that one such solution can be based on the
tabularx<http://ctan.org/pkg/tabularx> package,
and I am wondering what would be the best way to implement it (or if there
is a better solution I am overlooking).

Right now the only way I am thinking of is to edit print.xtable so it would
work with the tabularx LaTeX package. Any other suggestions would be most
welcomed.

Thanks.

It would be more courteous to the rhelp readers if you let them know
