A very minor bug, but here it comes. On doing something as simple as cat("1st
test string\r2nd\n") the console in RGui on Windows do not perform a CR on '\r'.
This is very annoying if you for example want to have a simple progress meter
when running a batch job. It works fine in Rterm. 

The same goes for using Rprintf() in a compiled function. Rterm honours '\r' but
not Rgui.
