[R] sprucing up the R homepage

[DavidM.UK]

Personally I think the homepage needs a much better image not a "nice"

Time Series is completely missing at the moment. Including something from
the fSeries .garchFit() routine would be a great to see (well done to the
RMetrics team on making it look good).
