[R-sig-Geo] RQGIS - integrating R with QGIS

[Kenny Bell]

Hi Jannes,

Perhaps you could provide a quick bullet point version? Each bullet could
be as simple as:

   -  rgeos::gSimplify = RQGIS::<The DP algorithm function>; New features
   are x, y, z.

omitting the first part for those with no current equivalent.

Thanks,
Kendon
