[Rd] Use of MathJax (or something similar) in .Rd files

[Gábor Csárdi]

You can probably already do this using the \if{html} conditional, and
either including the matchjax js files in the package, or getting them
from a CDN.

I know that equations are rendered beautifully in the pdf manuals, but I suspect the majority of users primarily look at the html help files when using R. While I am comfortable reading something like "B_x(a,b) = integral_0^x t^(a-1) (1-t)^(b-1) dt", it would definitely be nicer if this was shown as a 'proper' equation.
