rgeos released on CRAN

With some trepidation, rgeos - an interface to Geometry Engine - Open 
Source (GEOS) for topology operations on sp geometries - is now released 
on CRAN as a source package. A Windows binary package should follow within 
a couple of days. If an OSX binary package is offered on CRAN extras, 
information will be given, otherwise use the Kyngchaos framework and 
install from source. Contributions of bug reports, code patches, and 
extensions are welcome, especially via R-Forge. Congratulations to Colin 
Rundel for a very thorough implementation during GSoC 2010!

Enjoy!
