[R-sig-Geo] Getting polygons from list of lines

Hello,
I have got a list of lines given by a line number, the x and y coordinates of the start-point and
of the end-point, like this:
LineNumber X1 Y1 X2 Y2
1 64 169 108 162
2 108 162 141 179
3 108 162 119 133
4 141 179 188 179
5 188 179 168 134
6 188 179 233 152
7 233 152 229 117
8 229 117 168 134
9 168 134 119 133
10 119 133 37 132
11 37 132 64 169
12 83 93 37 132
13 83 93 139 96
14 139 96 119 133
15 139 96 197 85
16 197 85 229 117
These lines form a couple of simple polygons. Now I would like to have a list with the polygons
delimited by these lines (for plotting and export into a external text file). Does anyone know a
way how to do such a line-to-polygon conversion with R? Is there somewhere a package with
such a function?
I did some search especially within the spatial packages, but I didn't find something.
Cheers,
Christian
