using bitmap to make a multi-page pdf file results in (PR#909)

When I execute the following code:
bitmap("test.pdf",type="pdfwrite")
plot(1:10,1:10,main="ONE")
plot(1:10,1:10,main="TWO")
dev.off()
the resulting file test.pdf contains four pages: graph ONE, graph TWO,
graph ONE, graph TWO. I can recreate the problem with R version 1.2.1 and
1.2.2. I am using Aladdin ghostscript version 6.50. The temporary file
Rbit... has the correct number of graphs in it. Furthermore, if I execute
from the command line the command as constructed in 'bitmap()', using the
Rbit... file as input, I get a pdf file with the correct number of graphs
in it.
It's Windows-specific and easy to fix: replace
cmd <- paste(gsexe, " -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -q -sDEVICE=", type,
" -r", res,
" -g", ceiling(res*width), "x", ceiling(res*height),
" -sOutputFile=", file, " ", tmp, sep="")

Fixed for 1.2.3
