I was unable to get this to work with R 2.0.0. I'm not sure why it
didn't work; I did what was required by R. In any event, R 2.0.1 came
out on the 15th of November. I just tested this, and it appears to work
for the R piece. I am just about to test with TeXmacs 1.0.4.4 to see if
I have a solid fix. In any event, the R package can't be build with R
2.0.0; you need 2.0.1.
