New description:
The current version of R (r-project) disables graphics if no X11 is
available even though `r.capabilities()` states that PNG is enabled. But
you can't generate PNGs, which is why R graphics is broken in the Sage
virtual machine. This is fixed in the newest upstream version, of which I
made a new spkg.
http://www.stp.dias.ie/~vbraun/Sage/spkg/r-2.14.0.p0.spkg
There is no other change except for the source code and a rediffed
`patches/R.sh.in`
On an unrelated note, it would be nice if tickets talking about R would
contain "r-project" on trac since it is otherwise hopeless to search for.

Comment(by vbraun):
Patch attached for some small changes in `sage/interfaces/r.py`.
Highlights are that R now returns the class as ordered list and that it
doesn't accept the somewhat spurious 'source(file=file(...))' construct
that we feed it.
