r-cran-rngtools had the misfortune to encounter an autobuilder that
supplied a non-minimal environment it (via r-cran.mk) wasn't prepared to
handle, and would not normally encounter in practice.  I agree that the
autobuilder should have supplied a minimal environment, which would have
worked fine.  All the same, the environment it did supply was technically
legal, so r-cran.mk should have accommodated it -- especially since doing
so would just require a simple one-line change.
