 There's no way I can write a nice rgeos example in the time anyway!

 As long as I can work out the procedure for installing the
prerequisites for users to be able to build and install these add-ons
then I can document that somewhere if I ever want to use the live-dvds
for some fancy R-gis stuff. It should just be a case of apt-getting
the developer libraries and the package source code, right? Will play
with it later in the week, but it's my problem and not yours!
