[R] R as a `script'

[Don MacQueen]

In R 1.6.2 you can do this if you start the script with

    #! /path/to/r_home/lib/R/bin/R.bin

provided that you first define the environment variables R_HOME and 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH as they are defined in the R shell script (/usr/bin/R 
in your case).

I've only tested this running on Sun Solaris. I can't claim to have 
done extensive testing for pitfalls (i.e., pitfalls that aren't 
obvious to me!).
