One possibility is to create a list of Polygons objects, each with a
single Polygon object with a matrix of coordinates (cbind(xi, yi) for i=0,
n). See Polygons and SpatialPolygons documentation in the sp package. You
can then write a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame as a shapefile with writeOGR()
in rgdal or writePolyShape() in maptools.
