Comment(by kcrisman):

 Yet another interesting issue for the Mac: in configuring, we get
 {{{
 checking for X... no
 configure: error: --with-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs are not
 available
 Configuring R with fallback options
 }}}
 and indeed
 {{{
 $ if [ -f /usr/include/X11/Xwindows.h ]; then
 >     XSUPPORT=yes
 > else
 >     XSUPPORT=no
 > fi
 $ echo $XSUPPORT
 yes
 }}}
 but as [http://CRAN.R-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#X11-window-
 server-_0028optional_0029] points out, that is not enough on Snow Leopard,
 and the other versions have their own issues.  If Aqua ends up working for
 plotting, we will probably want to completely disable X11 support, since
 it doesn't work the same on each version anyway.
