ESS-mode and X-emacs problem "-noreadline" solution

[Martin Maechler]

ESS-5.0  does not yet contain the "-noreadline" flag.

ESS-5.0 came out only very shortly after R 0.60,
if "-noreadline" would have been builtin, no R version < 0.60
would have worked....

Here is the patch --- apply it if you are willing to only use  
R versions >= 0.60 (with ESS):

Excuse that I didn't give this answer earlier...
