Thanks.

It is not 1) (and I have of course also checked that the symlink works
etc.)  I think it is something like 2) and I guess I am wondering how
ESS knows what R-core considers valid names.  It would be very weird
(I think) if I had to name something 3.0-alpha.  And how would ESS
keep current with R, unless one updates ESS regularly (ok, I do, but
still)
