[ESS] R_LIBS_USER Setting

[Vincent Goulet]

I set R_LIBS_USER in the ~/.Renviron file. This works flawlessly with ESS and I guess Rgui and RStudio should honour this setting too.

The problem I've seen in RStudio on Windows is if the user's home folder (~/) contains non-ascii (e.g. accented) letters, then the path name gets mangled and you get stuck in a catch-22 where it's impossible to install a package.

Within ESS, this works well.  When I switch to one of the other environments (Rgui or RStudio), the environmental variable isn't set.
