Comment:

 I just pushed out PostGIS 3.0.4 bundle (for 11,12,13 - still need to do
 for 10 and 9.6) with GDAL 3.2.0 and Proj 7.1.1 and conv fixed.  I had to
 add an extra dialog which I plan to clean up later in 3.1.0 into a single
 screen, that offers to set the PROJ_LIB variable.  Unfortunately for the
 new env to take effect requires a PostgreSQL service restart.  At any rate
 it takes care of the GDAL DATA is not found error and prevents the crash I
 described in #4792.

 I think the logic we had to find proj for windows must be broken - I
 haven't checked the code base to see where the setting is set -- as I
 recall it was hardcoded to look in <postgresql install>/contrib/postgis
 -<minor-version>/proj.

 That in theory should have made the PROJ_LIB bit unnecessary but could be
 something in PROJ changed and GDAL to make it stop working.  Compiling
 with Proj 5.2 never resulted in this error notice.
