[R-sig-Geo] WKT to sp objects

[Carson Farmer]

Hello list,

Does anyone know of a nice way to convert WKT strings to sp Spatial
objects? The list archives don't turn up anything conclusive beyond
the possibility of doing it using rgeos, but I was wondering if anyone
knew of a more 'stable', all R way of doing it?

Thanks for any hints or thoughts you might have.

Carson
