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

[Prof Brian Ripley]

I have been able to reproduce this.  It appears that _some_ XFree 4.4.0 
Linux installations need 

#include <stdio.h>

so please add that before the X11/X.h call in src/modules/X11/dataentry.c

It seems nothing to do with _Xconst.
