[gdal-dev] GDAL/OGR 1.6.0 Release Candidate 1

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

a few issues found while running autotests:
- tiff_write_55 fails because of the reordering of the projection parameters 
done in r15834. Just swapping the standard_parallel_1 parameter in the 
expected WKT before false_easting makes it pass.
- osr_esri_10 also fails because we no longer used Plate Carree but 
Equidistant_Cylindrical (r15833)
- osr_ct_proj.py fails on Equirectangular because it needs an up to date 
proj.4 version (4.6.1) supporting the lat_0 parameter for the eqc projection, 
and my system is only 4.6.0. When running against a fresh compiled proj 
4.6.1, the test passes.
