Release 4.0 is soon. So I suggest we split the work.

1) Update R to the latest 2.9 release (ticket #3086)
I have no development experiences, but I assume that updating is a
straightforward activity (but maybe I'm wrong).

2) Loading common packages in advance.
After release 4.0 we look how many users have the same needs. If its
really worthwhile, we can consider to take the next step.
