title: Can writeSpatialShape save shapefile with projection (CRS)?
body: <p>Can <code>writeSpatialShape { maptools }</code> be somehow forced to write the shapefile with CRS? </p>
  
  <pre><code>writeSpatialShape(socc_buf, "f:/hdf/socc_buff_R.shp") # no CRS in the shapefile
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There does not seem to be an option for this. </p>
  
  <p>PS: I know it can be done using <code>writeOGR { rgdal }</code>.</p>
