[R] R compile on AIX 5.3

[Prof Brian Ripley]

1) What version of R is this?  If not 2.2.1 beta, please do try that as 
there have been some recent AIX-related patches.

2) What is on lines 793 & 794 of /usr/include/netinet/in.h?
It looks like some other header file needs to be included first.

We only have reports of recent successful builds of R on AIX 5.2, no 
reports from 5.3.
