fisher.test(x, y = NULL, workspace = 200000, hybrid = FALSE,
             control = list(), or = 1, alternative = "two.sided",
             conf.int = TRUE, conf.level = 0.95)
...
control  a list with named components for low level algorithm control.

I could not make any sense out of this, but it seems to indicate that 
this argument either selects or modifies the algorithm used to compute 
the output.
