[aur-general] Packaging all CRAN packages for R

[Alex Branham]

Thanks for your help. I've adopted a few R packages in the AUR[1] in the
meantime and updated them with the output of this automated script. I've
included an example of a current one below. Note that the r-cran-* stuff
isn't mine; they're packages other people have already uploaded to the
AUR.

I think I've managed to automate everything, the only exception being
that there's no way (as far as I can see, anyway) to tell if a package
has non-R dependencies (e.g. some packages need gcc-fortran to be
installed, but there's no way to tell that automatically I think).

Thanks again everyone for your help!
Alex
