[Rd] Any workaround for CRAN Mac OS X compiler switch to R 2.10.0?

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

This has been discussed on the R-sig-mac email list. The short answer  
is that something bad happened (bad = R-devel was used to compile CRAN  
packages) and Simon (who is maintaining this) was traveling. He is  
working on the problem now. A fix should happen "soon".
