[R-sig-Geo] upper bounds for values in color scale in spplot

[Edzer J. Pebesma]

Brad, you might want to try to construct one spplot per column, having 
the scale perhaps horizontally on the bottom, and combing them using the 
print(..., more = T) on trellis objects (see ?print.trellis in package 
lattice). An issue might be to get the maps at exactly the same scale, 
as the print command addresses the full print object including the 
possibly varying scale/text; I often fought with this but have no solution.
