[R-SIG-Mac] R in ESS. Add R functions to menu with the init.el file.

[Rodney Sparapani]

I haven't tried xemacs recently on Mac OS X, but I suspect that might be part of 
the problem.  The latest GNU emacs via CVS along with ESS 5.2.2 should behave in 
a similar manner without needing John Fox's extensions.  Stephen has these 
helpful comments in ess-toolbar.el:
;;; To use this code, place the following in .emacs after you have
;;; loaded ess-site:
;;;
;;; (setq ess-use-toolbar t)
;;; (if (fboundp 'tool-bar-mode) (tool-bar-mode t))	;Emacs 21.
;;; (require 'ess-toolbar)
;;; If you see a toolbar, but no icons, check out the value of
;;; ess-icon-directory.
