[R-sig-Geo] Simple features now on CRAN

[Forrest Stevens]

Super awesome, Edzer, and all who were involved!  This represents a massive
leap forward in compatibility and future-proofing for those of us working
every day with spatial data in R.  I'll jump in on testing and hopefully
can contribute to push along things with raster-related processing as well.

Congratulations,
Forrest Stevens
