This PR makes R an extendable package. Along with that, R is recognized as a spack build system so that spack create will generate template package files for R packages. Three R packages are in this PR that were used to validate the proper functioning of the extended R as well as to provide the first set of R packages for spack.

@mathstuf The latest commit addresses the issue of different libdir settings on different systems by setting libdir at configure time.

@tgamblin I know there are higher priority PRs but I have a question. I would like to start getting some R packages into spack. Should I push those into this PR or wait for this to be merged?

Thanks.
