[R-sig-Geo] function to convert to/from U.S. State Plane Coordinates?

[Waichler, Scott R]

My system is Redhat, RHEL5.  

> str(pnw)
List of 4
 $ x    : num [1:893] -117 -117 -117 -117 -117 ...
 $ y    : num [1:893] 46 46 45.9 45.9 45.9 ...
 $ range: num [1:4] -125 -111 42 49
 $ names: chr [1:7] "idaho" "oregon" "washington:san juan island" "washington:lopez island" ...
 - attr(*, "class")= chr "map"

So, it sounds like there is extra proj4 stuff that I need to install beyond the base installation I already did, which also enabled installation of rgdal?
