devSVG crashing on compiled.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Sometimes devSVG plots are crashing the compiled version.  Seems to be a 
segfault I think because no R output available.

Perhaps RSvgDevice must be compiled on each system.  Are we packaging it with 
the installer?

In general this might be causing quite a bit of instability.  A better solution 
might be to install these libraries on first load of Red-R instead of packaging 
them and then distributing?

Any thoughts?

I think we can at least make the installer smaller if we don't push the 
libraries with it.  I put a section in the initWizard to install the base 
libraries.  I put in these
'RSvgDevice', 'reshape', 'lattice', 'hexbin', 'ggplot2', 'graph', 'grid', 
'limma', 'gregmisc', 'MASS', 'Matrix', 'RSQLite', 'splines'

Are there any others that we would want in the beginning?  I also put in to 
immediately run an update on all packages.

This seems to be working better now that we compile on the machine and update 
instead of assuming that the configurations are set apporpiately.  

I'm clearing the issue and if we see this again or can find a way to reproduce 
it then we can study it better.
