[R] automatic cleaning of workspace

[Liaw, Andy]

You can avoid loading .Rdata at start-up without deleting the .Rdata
file by adding the --no-restore option to the R command.  I have that,
and additionally, --no-save, in my shortcut for the Rgui.exe command.  I
use explicit save() and load() in my scripts to save objects that are
expensive to compute.
