[R] Approximately how big is an installation of all packages.

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Note that the answer also depends on the platform (Uwe probably has two 
archs on Windows and no debug info in his DLLs), whether you 
byte-compile the packages, the optimization flags you use when compiling 
....

CRAN is around 3 - 4GB depending on the platform.  Specifically, 3.5GB 
for x86_64 Linux with debug info.  BioC software plus all the data 
packages needed to check the software packages is 20GB on that system.
