Frédéric,

You are setting up a pretty hard configuration!   I would suggest you
install the PROJ.4 tree, even if only into a local tree and then use
that to link against instead.  That will avoid the libtool related issues.

Hmm, it would seem we missed this.  I have added PROJ_LIB into the EXTERNAL_LIBS
macro now.  Your local change should be fine too.
