R spkg: use -### instead of -v to detect linker options

[jdemeyer]

Reported upstream (R): https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14865 -- bug was determined to be caused by autoconf

Reported grandupstream (autoconf): http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2012-06/msg00000.html with patch sent to http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2012-07/msg00007.html -- no feedback at all

Also do some clean-up of the R spkg.

Replying to @jdemeyer:

Also do some clean-up of the R spkg.

I already cleaned up SPKG.txt, spkg-install and spkg-check at #9906; this just complicates rebasing, again, as you also made some of the changes I made there, but not all of them.

FWIW, #9906, which really wasn't that hard to review, as I intentionally did not upgrade R or RPy there, rottens anyway...

It shouldn't be that much work to rebase, spkg-install and spkg-check aren't that big...

Anyway, this spkg does fix the problem I was having, so needs review.

Diff for the R spkg, for review only

Looks good.

I guess #9906 won't be finished in time for sage-5.0, so lets go with this.

Actually, this isn't meant for sage-5.0.

Too bad upstream is totally ignoring this...

Changed upstream from Reported upstream. Little or no feedback. to None of the above - read trac for reasoning.

Grandupstream (autoconf) is completely ignoring my bug request and patch.
