[R-sig-Geo] lat/lon to timezone

[John Callahan]

If there's not a function within R for this, maybe there's a way to use 
the web services from Geonames.org and parse the results.  Maybe this 
could be done within R, or in a separate script called by R.  I haven't 
used R enough to know if this is possible.
