[R-SIG-Mac] latest two builts refuse to launch

[Rob J Goedman]

Just checked this on 10.3.8, 10.3.9 and 10.4.pre, they all behave 
similarly. On 10.4.pre, from a terminal,
'open -a R.app' actually works (and shows a minor issue I'll look 
into). On 10.3 it shows the launch
services error -10810.

Unfortunately 10810 is 'unknown error' in the launch services. The 1393 
Xcode builds do
work fine on all versions.

Could something have gone wrong in this particular nightly build? It 
happens with both R-GUI and
R-GUI-Debug.
