  Now this could be done with a GDAL/OGR driver for R-spatial objects 
(stored in .RData files). Then you could use any GIS with GDAL/OGR 
capabilities to make pretty maps with R objects.

  I'm not really au fait with writing and linking GDAL/OGR drivers, but 
the code would have to link with libR and require the sp package... Fun. 
Anyone up for it?
