[R-SIG-Mac] R 2.1.1 available in DarwinPorts

[Kjell Konis]

"just" == a couple of hours ago.

This is my second try at R 2.1.1.  The version you have installed  
(try number 1) was probably built with gfortran (in gcc 4.0) which I  
hear is not 100% stable yet - this was the main reason for the  
revision to the port.  Also, the discussion here about path.expand  
made me realize that the port was picking up the wrong version of  
readline so I fixed that as well as a few other minor things.

Good to hear someone is using the port.
