[R-SIG-Mac] small steps ahead from fink in building R Darwin/X11 port

[Don MacQueen]

This --enable-fink option looks like a very good thing. Thank you.

How does it work? Does it mean that during installation the necessary 
files are downloaded from fink, used during make, and then deleted?

I find jpeg and tcltk to be very useful; does --enable-fink include 
them among the capabilities?

I notice that cledit is shown as FALSE among the capabilities listed 
below. Is that the capability that is enabled when libreadlines is 
available? If so, I feel that it is essential.
