[R] Mandrake rpms - R 1.7.1

[mikalzet@libero.it]

Mandrake RPM's (and the relevant SRPM) for 8.0, 8.2, 9.0 and 9.1 have been 
uploaded; 8.1 fails on make check of one of the packages, I'm looking into 
this and hope to upload the rpm in a while (let's say that requests for 
this rpm might stimulate me into doing this in a short time, absence of 
interest may lead to this taking longer ... or not being done at all).

I think I'll drop support for Mandrake 8.* as of next R release.

Please read the updated readme.
