[R-SIG-Mac] how to compile R for use with binary CRAN packages

[Tobias Verbeke]

Dear list, 

The build page at

http://r.research.att.com/building.html

explicitly mentions

<quote>
Note that your binary will require you to install all packages from sources.

Is there any documentation on how to compile R from source
in such a way that one can install binary packages from CRAN? 

I have read

http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#OS-X

but may have overlooked any specific pointers.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Best,
Tobias

P.S. target R version currently is R 2.15.3 but if R 3.0.0 
would make this easier, then that is a sufficient reason to
move to R 3.0.0.
