Comment(by hamish):

 Hi, just trying out the R quickstart in the latest nightly iso build.

 the vignettes() thing seems to all work fine now, thanks.

 ----

 at this step: library(maptools)

 you get a message that rgeos is missing and it is falling back to gpclib,
 which has a restricted license and is disabled (it's non-free for
 commercial use), and instructions how to get approve it and get it going.
 Not exactly a smooth look for a demo.


  > install.packages("rgeos")

 is only a 210kb download and quick build with no other dependencies, so
 why don't we just include it by default? GEOS is nice.
