Is there any chance to use rjson instead of RJSONIO in googleVis

[Andreas Tille]

Hi again,

seems the new version needs some time to show up on CRAN.  Is there any
chance that you set tags for the release versions on Github which would
simplify downloading the tarball a lot?

Kind regards

        Andreas.
