Updated for R version 3.0.0, using a beta pre-release version. Many thanks to Prof. Brian Ripley for spending time pre-release in resolving issues with the reference (*.save) output files to enable all tests to run cleanly.

Also modified the locale incantation notes to use only:

  export LC_COLLATE=C LANG=en LC_TIME=C

as per R-Admin, which is now allowing the locale to be set correctly. Prior runs yielding differences may have been impacted by reference output files not having been updated prior to R version releases.
