How to do leave-n-out cross validation in R?

First, _you_ have to say exactly what _you_ mean by leave-n-out CV. If you
can specify the algorithm, you can program it in R (or we may be able to 
help).

As I have never encountered this, I don't know the definition, nor do I
see the point.  I suspect it is not really cross-validation at all (the
term is widely misused in the machine-learning/neural nets communities to
mean the use of a validation set).
