[Rd] Package Matrix does not compile in R-devel_2009-01-10

[Rainer Hurling]

Just some feedback for the record.

Since version R-devel_2009-01-20.tar.gz with Matrix_0.999375-18.tar.gz 
included I am able again to compile and install R on FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT 
out of the box.

Many thanks to Martin Maechler and Brian Ripley for the help and work,

Rainer Hurling
