[ESS] Patch for ESS 12.04 released

[Martin Maechler]

Dear Vincent,
and other ESS "packaged distribution" maintainers.

I'm really sorry for the slight mess up in this release.
The ESS lisp code is fine  -- apart from M-x ess-version

but I want to do an 12.04-2  patch, within a day or two to fix
the "small mess".
So, ideally do *not* release 12.04-1  for Windows at all.

Martin
