build the new GUI yourself tonight, but R 2.14.2 is going out to CRAN
tomorrow so I'd just wait for that.

The GUI is a separate build (and install): the current version is almost 
always available from http://r.research.att.com/ .  It has a build 
number (currently 6118) seen when starting R.app: it is good to report 
that as well as sessionInfo().

Whereas the source release of CRAN is due today, binary builds will take 
a little longer (possibly several days, as happened for 2.14.1).
