[R] 140 packages in R Commander!!

[John Fox]

Dear Ajay,

Each of the Rcmdr plug-ins is an R package with its own dependencies, which
you can check on CRAN. Since dependencies can have dependencies, etc., you'd
have to be careful in drawing conclusions. I'm not sure what the help system
has to do with it.

Best,
 John
