[ESS] Setting paths to R versions in different directories

[Vitalie Spinu]

Before I look into it would be nice to precisely understand the expected
behavior.

I have just got a new system and got R devel installed from
source in ~/bin/R-patched/, then I

  cd ~/bin && ln -sf R-patched/bin/R R-latest

and re-started Emacs. Then M-x R- TAB, no R-latest in there.

So, R-latest should have been created and should have been in the
completion list, right?
