If configure says:

>>configure: WARNING:     ## ----------------------------------- ##
>>configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to r-bugs at R-project.org ##
>>configure: WARNING:     ## ----------------------------------- ##

  then people might just do what it says. Perhaps the message should 
mention something about current, patched, and obsolete versions...
