[R-SIG-Mac] Opening R on leopard

[peter dalgaard]

I'm afraid that Power PC support went out when Simon's build system died.

CRAN says that "This binary distribution of R and the GUI supports Intel (32-bit and 64-bit) based Macs on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and 10.7 (Lion)." Notice "Intel based".

Versions up to 2.15.0 are in the "old" subdirectory. I'm not sure which one was the last to support PPC.
