If R_LIBS is not set then R CMD INSTALL without a lib argument installs in R_HOME/library
while install.packages() without lib installs in the first element of .libPaths().


If R_LIBS is set, then R CMD INSTALL installs in the
first directory in R_LIBS, and install.packages() still installs in the first element
of .libPaths() (i.e. ignores R_LIBS).


Is this difference intentional ? It would perhaps be more convenient if
.libPaths()[1] was used as a default in all cases (when no lib argument
is given).
