[R] R-Logo in \LaTeX

Sure, it's a bitmap, but the naked eye resolution is only
100 $\mu$m so that a vectorized solution is overkilling
in most common situations IMHO. I have to zoom by a factor
1200% to see some pixellization problems on my screen,
but my eyes are admitedly getting older and older, one more
instance of fortune(75) issue I guess :-(

Not so sure, I had to convert it a long time ago into a PDF
format for a reason I don't remember. I'm sharing my *.rnw
on a CVS with colleages working under Linux, Unix, Mac and
Windows, so the reason could be that there was a problem
in a given platform. The PDF choice is defensive in the sense
that we are Sweaving with \SweaveOpts{pdf = T, eps = F},
so that including PDF is a pre-condition.

There was a not so-old thread about this on R-devel:

Best,
