Some R packages (igraph for example) actively discourage building from source as an alternative to using binaries.
Since CRAN only supports the past few releases of R, having old versions of R in our R CMD check matrix won't work for repos that have those packages as dependencies.
Suggested fix: make a pass through argument specifying the matrix to be used for testing with R CMD CHECK.
