[R] R 2.8.0 is released

[Jeroen Ooms]

Yes I indeed explicitly compiled with --without-x. You were right, it
was just a simple missing semicolon. I fixed it by adding a simicolon
at the end of line 1657 in the file /src/main.platform.c: int X11 =
FALSE; Something to fix in the new version, though.
