[R] R - S compatibility table

[Prof Brian Ripley]

One comment: the first two of those are not in S, but rather in S-PLUS.
So a big question is compatibility with what?  (There are quite large 
compatibility differences between versions of S-PLUS too.)

There are comments on differences in the FAQ, but they are not 
comprehensive.
