[ESS] M-x R-version

[Stephen Eglen]

We need to update the following defvar; can someone else on ess-core do
this, as my local setup needs fixing.

(defvar ess-r-versions (if (eq system-type 'darwin)
                           '("R-1" "R-2" "R-3" "R-devel" 
                             "R-patched" "R32" "R64")
                         '("R-1" "R-2" "R-3" "R-devel" "R-patched"))
...)
