R-alpha: xgobi

[Kurt Hornik]

I've commented out a few lines in the S function that comes with the
XGobi distribution and made 3 more changes or so ... now one can use it
for starting XGobi from within R.  Seems to work o.k.  [Cloning and
Copying does not, but does it under S-PLUS?]

The function requires something like tmpname(), so it currently has to
require our e1071 library.  R&R, couldn't we add the tmpname() wrapper
to the libc function to the distribution?

I've put xgobi.tar.gz into CRAN/src/contrib.  

I've also added it to the Debian Linux/GNU r-contrib package.  Doug,
if you're interested in an XGobi package, please let me know.
