Add Rserve and required modules to the safe module list

You might add some configuration information to localOverrides.conf.dist. Basically something like

# This is configuration for the Rserve pg module.  More explanation about 
# configuration and setting up your own Rserve server.  Blah Blah Blah
# $pg{specialPGEnvironmentVars}{Rserve} = {host => "localhost"};

to help people get started.

@goehle Is it OK to point to my university's wiki? Or would you rather that information were on the MAA wiki?

[goehle]

I suppose I would like stuff on the MAA wiki, but I would also like it to be up to date. So if your university wiki is more likely to have current information you should use that.

When I switch to develop branch now, I get these perl warnings on pages:

The way I usually install packages is using MCPAN, but it doesn't know what Rserve is when I try install Rserve. How can I install this Rserve package?

That's what you need to work with the R server. You can comment it out in defaults.config. We should do that for vthe release .

OK, the Rserve package I am "missing" is in the develop branch of pg. That was my issue; I had only moved webwork2 to develop, not pg.
