    Update R to 3.1.1

    NEW FEATURES:

        * When attach() reports conflicts, it does so compatibly with
          library() by using message().

        * R CMD Sweave no longer cleans any files by default, compatibly
          with versions of R prior to 3.1.0.  There are new options
          --clean, --clean=default and --clean=keepOuts.

        * tools::buildVignette() and tools::buildVignettes() with clean =
          FALSE no longer remove any created files.  buildvignette() gains
          a keep argument for more cleaning customization.

        * The Bioconductor 'version' used by setRepositories() can now be
          set by environment variable R_BIOC_VERSION at runtime, not just
          when R is installed.  (It has been stated that Bioconductor will
          switch from 'version' 2.14 to 'version' 3.0 during the lifetime
          of the R 3.1 series.)

        * Error messages from bugs in embedded Sexpr code in Sweave
          documents now report the source location.

        * type.convert(), read.table() and similar read.*() functions get a
          new numerals argument, specifying how numeric input is converted
          when its conversion to double precision loses accuracy.  The
          default value, "allow.loss" allows accuracy loss, as in R
          versions before 3.1.0.

        * For some compilers, integer addition could overflow without a
          warning.  R's internal code for both integer addition and
          subtraction is more robust now.

        * The function determining the default number of knots for
          smooth.spline() is now exported, as .nknots.smspl().

        * dbeta(, a,b), pbeta(), qbeta() and rbeta() are now defined also
          for a = 0, b = 0, or infinite a and b (where they typically
          returned NaN before).

        * Many package authors report that the RStudio graphics device does
          not work correctly with their package's use of dev.new().  The
          new option dev.new(noRStudioGD = TRUE) replaces the RStudio
          override by the default device as selected by R itself, still
          respecting environment variables R_INTERACTIVE_DEVICE and
          R_DEFAULT_DEVICE.

        * readRDS() now returns visibly.

        * Modifying internal logical scalar constants now results in an
          error instead of a warning.

        * install.packages(repos = NULL) now accepts http:// or ftp:// URLs
          of package archives as well as file paths, and will download as
          required.  In most cases repos = NULL can be deduced from the
          extension of the URL.

        * The warning when using partial matching with the $ operator on
          data frames is now only given when
          options("warnPartialMatchDollar") is TRUE.

        * Package help requests like package?foo now try the package foo
          whether loaded or not.

        * General help requests now default to trying all loaded packages,
          not just those on the search path.

        * Added a new function promptImport(), to generate a help page for
          a function that was imported from another package (and presumably
          re-exported, or help would not be needed).
