[R-pkgs] rgdal 0.7-1 release

[Roger Bivand]

A new release of rgdal, a package providing bindings for the Geospatial 
Data Abstraction Library for reading and writing spatial data, has reached 
CRAN.

This release changes the error handling mechanisms, and is more fully 
described in a posting on R-sig-geo:

https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/2011-July/012126.html

If any users observe unexpected behaviour following update, please revert 
to the 0.6-* series, and report with full details to the package 
maintainer. Extensive checking has been carried out, and no unexpected 
behaviour observed, but it is not feasible to check all possible use 
cases, especially erroneous use cases, hence this message.
