Actually, the root cause for this regression concerning "R" turned out
to be something *completely different*, has nothing to do with
parallel building (the double output seems to be an artifact, and the
build is not affected by that at all), and especially the Sage-4.0.1
bdist version I mentioned is OK, too.

The root cause was the patch for trac #2513 which was incorporated in
Sage-4.0.2.alpha4, concerning the setting (or not ...) of the variable
LANG in the sage-env script.

Since in r.py, some error messages are parsed word-by-word and since
the wording does change with different languages, and since R somehow
without the LANG environment variable defaulted fro me to german
instead of english, I had some fun hours of debugging.

I'll prepare a nice patch with some explanations for the R.spkg's
"spkg-install" script to use 'LANG="en_US.UTF-8"  && export LANG', and
attach it to the yet-to-be-created trac ticket for this, but this
might take more than a day.

Cheers,
gsw
