running R under ESS inside emacs 21 prerelease

[Rodney Sparapani]

Tony:

I'm not an Emacs 21 expert, but I was told that only "recognized" Emacs 21 
testers are supposed to be using the pre-release.  The reason is that they don't 
want bugs just detected, per se; they want people to find bugs and fix them.  I 
don't necessarily agree or disagree with this policy (I'm way too busy to 
participate even if I wanted to).  If you do find binaries somewhere, keep in 
mind that they are most certainly out-of-date and bug reports based on them 
would be frowned upon in any case.  It's probably best if we wait for Emacs 21 
to be officially released before digging in.
