[R] [R-pkgs] New versions of Matrix and lme4 packages for R-2.4.0

Thanks, Douglas.
It works.

Only one gripe.  Every time I want to
try a new version of your software, I have
to get, compile, patch the latest  bleeding edge version of R
as well:

ERROR: This R is version 2.3.1
        package 'Matrix' needs R >= 2.4.0
