[R-SIG-Mac] Cocoa gui with embedded R framework

[stefano iacus]

You should set R_HOME in the env vars of the R executable (see the  
INSTALL file in the xcode project of R.app)

Otherwise you can set R_HOME as a global var. It's a global prefs file  
(I don't remember now which one) that is used by the Finder on OS X to  
set env vars.

Simon? Could this be done at run-time (for this specific version of  
R.app of Kjell) by setting it relative to R.app path before  
kickstarting R?

In any case, I would be pleased to know if is works after moving around  
R.app on the system or even after installing a package and move again  
R.app around.
