[R] CLEDITOR

[Prof Brian Ripley]

No patch is needed on Solaris, where one compiles readline from the 
sources.

There is no `CLEDITOR' env variable (as in S-PLUS): use of this is 
controlled by the --no-readline flag which defaults to on.  Look back at 
the installation output: it will have told you if readline was detected.
(Most likely it is not even installed.)  See the R-admin manual for more 
details.
