yep, that's because of the following variable [note we have made it a
little future-proof for when R 2.x comes out!]

ess-r-versions's value is ("R-1" "R-2")
Documentation:
*List of partial strings for versions of R to access within ESS.
Each string specifies the start of a filename. If a filename
beginning with one of these strings is found on `exec-path', a M-x
command for that version of R is made available. For example, if the
file "R-1.8.1" is found and this variable includes the string
"R-1", a function called `M-x R-1.8.1' will be available to run that
version of R.
If duplicate versions of the same program are found (which happens if
the same path is listed on `exec-path' more than once), they are
ignored by calling `ess-uniq-list'.
