[R-SIG-Mac] building R under Lion

[Simon Urbanek]

You were on the right path - it's only about renaming vecLib to Accelerate, so you just have to apply the patch below. It is annoying, since -framework vecLib still works just fine so you don't even need to change the configure flags. The patch will in some modified form make it to R eventually.

Cheers,
Simon
