After the initial query about finding timezones in R, I've gone mad
and written an entire package for querying all of (well, most of)
geonames.org.

It's hosted on R-Forge:

http://geonames.r-forge.r-project.org/

and recently submitted to CRAN. Install from the R-forge repo with:

install.packages("geonames",repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

if anyone else wants to help develop it, get an R-forge account and
I'll add you in.
