[ESS] toggle between R versions

[Mark W Kimpel]

Richard,

This was the first thing I tried, but the only thing listed under 
"other" is "R-newest", which when I tried it, loaded R-2.6.1 just as "R" 
does. I am not using Windows, which may keep track of versions in the 
registry, but Linux, where I have to put a symbolic link to R in /usr/bin
