Alternative R Client Implementations

• ibilli/rib - R-native implementation that strives to preserve official C++/Java client programming paradigm. It implements a full decoder but a simplified client functionality.
• vspinu/rib - Fully featured implementation that wraps the official C++ tws-api client. It provides an interceptor style message handling for easier message processing and bot creation.
