[R-SIG-Mac] rgl dependency?

[Dan Putler]

There shouldn't be. John Fox took out the dependency on rgl largely  
so it would run on OS X. I might post this to the r-sig-gui list as  
well since John monitors that list and not the r-sig-mac list. You do  
need rgl for 3-D plots, and getting rgl to run is a common thread in  
this list.
