Thank you, Kasper,
the first problem  shouldn't have happened, and has been my fault, now
fixed.

The problem with needing R for simple 'make'  is something we are working
on;
indeed you are right that this is unexpected and it will not be needed
anymore in the near future, at least not for the release = "tarball".
Iit will be needed for 'make dist' or similar, but that's only for the ESS
developers or maybe people working from svn... but that's people wanting to
use bleeding edge, and indeed we may require a bit more from them.

Thanks again for the heads up.
Martin
