Good idea, applied to the package. Along with the overdue change of
supporting 'R CMD javareconf' if /usr/bin/java is found. According to Simon,
that is all we need for rJava which I should package for Debian.

It was a tad late, but I made a new 2.6.0~20070930 release. Let's test that
tomorrow so that I could fix things for R 2.6.0 if need be.
