It is actually easier to do that to link to an external ATLAS. So we could have an advanced variable to use a system R and possibly ask for a minimal version of R (and remove those doctest that tests a specific version of R). That would also solve at least one ticket that David Kirkby had about R on solaris were the only way he could compile R was outside sage with the solaris compiler instead of gcc.
