Not a huge deal since it generally shouldn't be an issue.  But the check
is more correct than what was previously done and what dubious functions
like atoi and atof provide (which is no error reporting).  Since some
of these functions are used for "untrusted" user input, it might be
good to have the check.

I tend to think this is high on the importance list, since the command
won't even run under some configurations without the changes.  Also
fixes a small error regarding the projection when no TIFF world file
is present.

Possibly consider adding support for pnw (PNG World files)?  Same format
as TIFF World files...  If so, similar support should be added to the
output program.

I don't have any opinions about the others...
