[Gdal-dev] geod: azimuth to degrees

Yes, it was an i d 10 t error, for sure.  Even though I poured over the man
page over and over again, I thought the 1st two #'s were part of a lon,lat
pair.  So the rest of the time I just spent slamming my head against the
wall.

I'm good to go now!  I had been using PostGIS's azimuth w/ great results and
I wanted to avoid calling the db for each of these computations.  I, too,
have noticed very small % differences among the results, but they are well
w/i our tolerance.

Thanks, all!
