Subject: [Rd] R fails to build on AFS (PR#6488)
Message-ID: <20040128134056.9FC3910474@slim.kubism.ku.dk>

The @ character in path names causes the R build process to barf.

It is used on the AFS file system for OS-specific magic:

/afs/../../../../@sys/../.. links to a different directory on each system
type (the magic "@sys" is expanded by AFS at file access time to the
system value, such as alpha_dux40, hp_ux102, i386_linux24, etc).
