a9258080b1 R: don't install the "recommended packages"
These packages come with R, but if we install them as part of this build, then
we cannot update them without re-building R as well. Instead, we add those
packages to the R environment through the r-wrapper. This means that
recommended packages can be updated in cran-packgaes.nix, and those updates
have an effect on the installation without re-building R itself.

7c6a730e0b R: added wrapper script that provides "R" and "Rscript" binaries that know about extra libraries
Configure an override in ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix as follows:

  {
    packageOverrides = pkgs: {

      rWrapper = pkgs.rWrapper.override {
        packages = with pkgs.rPackages; [ Defaults dataTable foreach xtable ];
      };

    };
  }
