I know ESS already has a better interface for installing packages, C-c C-e
TAB, but it'd be "neat" if when I forget to do this and I call
install.packages() without first setting a mirror that either the same
interface would be presented rather than Tcl/Tk, or a widget.el-based
interface was presented.
