[R] R-1.9.0: make error on slackware-current!

[Prof Brian Ripley]

We have seen this before, and fixed it, at least on my installation.  The 
fix was to ensure that the X11 headers were declared before Defn.h, which 
they are in 1.9.0 but not in 1.8.1.  So your XFree 4.4 installation is not 
liking the way those header files are defined, and we need you to 
disentangle this.
