These are based on the GRASS News note of mid-2005, and are now very 
out-of-date.

All the necessary functions for the GRASS 6 interface are now in packages
on CRAN, so that on Linux/Unix (or Mac OSX) installing rgdal from source
with PROJ4 and GDAL installed, or Windows installin binary, the required
packages are:

sp

maptools (now includes spmaptools)

rgdal (now includes spGDAL, spproj)

spgrass6

now all on CRAN.

I have added a note to this effect to the Wiki.
