That's fine but it should be possible to just run R without it's
packaging system.
Then I suggest a new solution:
[666] :
* patch R if curl (with https support) is not there and make curl an
optional package,
* not patch R if curl (with https support) is ther.
Conditionally patching is really bad because it cannot be pushed upstream.
Instead, in proper autoconfig style, we should conditionally build the
parts requiring curl. That is, change the logic in the R build system to
build R without the packaging system if curl is not available.
