[R] Retrieving latitude and longitude via Google Maps API

[Nutter, Benjamin]

Does anyone have any experience retrieving latitutde and longitude for
an address from the Google Maps API?  

I'd like to have an R script that submits a street address, city, state,
and zip code and returns the coordinates.  So far, I've been submitting
the coordinates from another program, then loading the coordinates in R
and merging them back into the data frame I want to use.  It'd be nice
to be able to do it all in one script, but I'm not comprehending the API
thing very well.

I'm using R 2.9.1 on Windows XP.  Any suggestions or pointers?
