PS: by the way, Renaud, 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 functions are on the development 
version pgirbric 1.1.4 (I had quite busy Xmas vacation playing on 
Alevolar echinococcosis distribution in China).

Feed-back and suggestions appreciated if they are usable to your own work.

sp, splancs, maptools, spdep, rgdal, etc... are really great things ! 
GRASS and QGIS also.

Cheers,

Patrick
