[Rd] packages in OS X

[Jan de Leeuw]

I compiled and installed fracdiff, akima, splancs and odesolve by adding 
the
-m linker flag when foo.so is build.

I compiled and installed princurve and wle by removing nasty end-of-file
characters from some of the fortran sources

There are no solutions for the subselect and Matrix problems yet.
