I'm travelling and not able to give an authoritative answer now, but 
please try maptools function readShapeLines() which if I remember 
correctly includes the function you mention, but saves the step of first 
reading the shape object. The GRASS-News note was written a year ago, and 
the sp/maptools/rgdal combination on the R side has developed strongly. 
You may also consider readOGR() in rgdal to read shapefiles into 
appropriate Spatial* objects.
