Today I downloaded the latest source code release R-2.3.1.tar.gz, and it seems
not to contain the VR bundle. After running ./configure I get the following
error message:

checking for recommended packages... ./src/library/Recommended/VR_*.tar.gz: No
such file or directory
no
configure: error: Some of the recommended packages are missing
  Use --without-recommended-packages if this was intentional
39.99u 115.47s 3:02.64 85.1%

There is a soft link to the newest version of bundle under
/src/library/Recommended, but the actual bundle is missing:

Of course, this is easy to fix just by downloading and copying the VR bundle to
the correct place. But, maybe it could also be included in the latest source
code release?
