PS: by the way if you connect to http://pagesperso-orange.fr/giraudoux/, 
you can download an unofficial package 'pgirbric' (when I am sure things 
work well I move them to pgirmess). I have written some functions (based 
on splancs and sp) to extract info from rasters using buffer centred on 
points or polygons. A quite common business in my field of ecology but 
with no programmes (to my knowledge) doing it easy. The latest one are 
on the development version (I had quite busy Xmas vacation playing on 
Alevolar echinococcosis distribution in China).

Cheers,
