yes, of course, I've not configured this version of R to use tcltk as I  
was too tired yesterday to reconfigure and rebuild. I'm doing it now  
but I'm sure it will work.

also I did not configure the R pager as "internal" so R prints out to  
the terminal, I'll fix this

The aim of doing this is to was just to put some bases in R-devel where  
other Mac devels can experiment.
 From my side, I'm confident I can finish the GUI rather soon, but then  
there will be other delicate things to adjust.
The idea is to switch to Cocoa soon, which can be easily done inside  
Carbon.
The Quartz device will also be soon resizable.

Now that my teching time is over I have more time to work on it.

let's see.
