Almost... but not quite. If the script is called R-ukr, I don't think
it will be picked up by ESS;
ess-r-versions's value is
("R-1" "R-2" "R-devel" "R-patched")
so, either do:
1. call the script R-2-ukr and then it should be found.
2. set ess-r-version before ess is loaded:
(setq ess-r-versions '("R-1" "R-2" "R-devel" "R-patched" "R-uk"))
See doc string of ess-r-versions for more details.
