[ESS] project management in Emacs / ESS / R

[Kevin Wright]

When I do use RStudio, I don't use projects.  I don't save history,
don't save Rdata, etc.  So I also am curious about which features of
projects are desirable.  Personally, I'd rather see work done to
polish different aspects of ESS :
One-click Rnw -> open PDF.  (Takes 3 steps for me.)
One-click Rmd -> open html.  (I've got this working.)
Template for new Rmd files.  (I use template library for this).
