ok,
i managed to create a non x-rated version of R

i am not an expert in writing configurations,
so i just give the changes.
perhaps some kind soul can integrate them into configure and
the different Makefile.in
or wheerever chanegs are needed.

-=-=-=-=-=-=

the following changes are needed:

necessary changes in 
src/unix/Makefile

old
SOURCES = dataentry.c devX11.c dynload.c edit.c rotated.c \
         system.c sys-unix.c sys-common.c
--->
new
SOURCES = dynload.c edit.c  \
          system.c sys-unix.c sys-common.c

probably sensible changes:
remove
HEADERS = dataentry.h devX11.h rotated.h

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

necessary changes in 
src/main/devices.c

#ifdef Unix

has to be changed to
Unix AND X11
(or whatever the syntax needed is)

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

necessary changes in 
src/main/names.c
remove the entry
{"dataentry",   do_dataentry,   0,      11,     1,      PP_FUNCALL},

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

necessary changes in 
src/unix/system.c

1. remove

            case XActivity:
                R_ProcessEvents();
                break;

2. remove 

#include "devX11.h"
#define XActivity 1
    int connectionfd = X11ConnectionNumber();


3. remove 
    if (connectionfd > 0) {
        FD_SET(connectionfd, &readMask);
        if (connectionfd > stdinfd)
            maxfd = connectionfd;

4. remove 
   if (connectionfd > 0)
        if (FD_ISSET(connectionfd, &readMask))
            return XActivity;
