Tweaking installation of R packages

["Mike M. Volokhov" <mike.volokhov%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hi,

it's sometimes required to add additional flags to R CMD INSTALL. Particularly,
Rgraphviz [1] package that I'm currently working on requires --configure-args
for setting graphviz path. It seem overkill to create a framework for these
options so how about just passing them to R_PKG_INSTALL_ARGS?
