[R-SIG-Mac] X11 support on OSX 10.10.4

[Jordan Bates]

I have XQuartz installed via the official package.  I have X11 support
working now with CRAN's R.  I found that the error was actually different
with R installed from CRAN's pkg that with homebrew's R.  I just didn't
have the DISPLAY variable set, which was fixed with:

> $ launchctl load -w
> /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macosforge.xquartz.startx.plist


With homebrew's R, X11 support is not compiled in and the R_X11.so module
is not there.  I still haven't been able to figure that out.
