Summary: Fix the whole CRAN mirror issue

Initial Comment:
Eventually, the following things will need to be taken care of (not a bug, but an eyesore ;) ):

If repos == '@CRAN@' and 'Fetch list' is called from either Install or Update tabs of Configure Packages then the same old Tcl/Tk menu is shown. To fix this, fix the available.packages() call in .rk.cached.available.packages(). Basically, check if repos == '@CRAN@' and call rk.select.CRAN.mirror(); set the repos and then call available.packages().

3. Add the base CRAN mirror: "http://cran.r-project.org" (an Austrian server) to the chooseCRANmirror() list. May be even set this as the default, if none is selected?
