	The installers I ran have an option that theoretically allows one to
control if it sets itself up as the "system" version (modifying
ftype/assoc, and PATH). Of course, I confuse matters even more by having
installed both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of both 2.7 and 3.3 <G>

	Though that paranoia may be fading; I think all "my" prefered add-ons
have 2.7-64bit variants (or are truly architecture free).

	Now if R v3.x ever finishes downloading the "contrib" files (I'm into
the sh* files after about 18 hours). Problem with jumping major version is
that the contrib files tend to be all new too.
