[R-sig-Geo] WKT coordinate system string (PRJ) to PROJ.4

[Michael Sumner]

Hello, is there any R-level way to convert a WKT/PRJ *coordinate system*
string to PROJ.4 used by sp/rgdal?

(Previously I've written out to SHP/PRJ, and read back in with rgdal, but
that's obviously a bit naff.)

(I know you can rgeos::readWKT and wkb::readWKB for *geometry*).

Cheers, Mike.
