[R] FactoMineR

[John Fox]

Dear Daniel,

There were changes to the new version 1.9-3 of the Rcmdr so that it conforms to CRAN policies. These changes can break plug-ins that haven't been modified for compatibility. 

One change is that the environment in which the Rcmdr stores state information is no longer put on the search path. That's apparently preventing the FactoMineR plug-in from finding the active data set. The solution is for the author to replace get(.activeDataSet) with something like get(getRcmdr(".activeDataSet")). I'll correspond with the package author to suggest this.

I apologize for the difficulties introduced by these changes.

John
