Sure, but there are perfectly great stat language/packages which are
small, compilable, and work like a charm, without some of the great
benefits of R.

XLispStat comes to mind, and in fact, has had functional
cross-platform widgets for a while.

Of course, there is always S-PLUS.  It doesn't require building,
and may be comparable to a full installation of R, depending on what
that means to you.

It seems like it might be worth reconsidering your software platform
in light of your hardware requirements.

best,
