[apparmor] RAppArmor: AppArmor for R

[Frankie Onuonga]

Hi,
I know main guys in the community do get busy  but considering they helped
me a lot when I needed to do a few presentations I am also willing to help
you.

If possible I can have a look at this and we discuss on friday.
Is that ok with you?

thanks,

Frankie Onuonga
