[R-SIG-Mac] OS X builds for R-devel

[Alexey Sergushichev]

Hi David,

My question was not about installing r-devel on Mac, but whether there are
plans on having the packages available on CRAN web-site. I'm asking this,
because Bioconductor build system depends on availability of OS X binaries
of some packages on CRAN.
