[R] S objects to R

[Ross Ihaka]

Try using the S function "dump" rather than "data.dump".  Many files can
be transfered that way (data.dump and data.restore will appear in the next
few months).

R does not yet support attaching S .Data directories, but the format for S
objects on disk appears to be pretty straightforward (except for lists)
so we will probably eventually provide some way of grabbing data files
directly from a .Data directory.
