Thanks! Committed.

While a feature like this should be easy enough to implement, there are some 
issues with the updating functionality, that I'd like to see resolved, first. 
Most importantly, if you have several library locations (such as one or two 
system wide library locations, and one location with user write access), and 
you install updates to the user library location, on the next update cycle 
the packages installed in the system wide directories will show up as having 
an update available again, even though a newer version is installed in the 
user library location (and probably being used). I don't have a good idea on 
how to resolve this, yet.
Also, apparently with R 2.5.0, we will get some improvements to 
install.packages (): If install.packages detects that it can not write to the 
default location, it will offer to create a user library location instead. 
Currently we have quite a bit of workaround code in RKWard instead, but that 
is not quite as convenient.

Well, I added your idea to the TODO list to make sure it will not get lost.

Thomas
