Well, now I'm thoroughly confused. The PDAL web landing page says they've
released version 2.1.0. Perhaps the proj adoption page refers to PDL, the
Program Design Language and not PDAL?

Grass 7.9.dev source code, when configured, reports it's using new PROJ 5+
API, but the web page on who's using which proj header file says that grass
has adopted proj.h which is the most recent since project.h was dropped with
proj6 and proj-api.h was supposed to be dropped with proj7.

When I run 'make' it eventually fails because,
v.in.pdal: error while loading shared libraries: libproj.so.15: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

That's because proj-7.0.1 provides libproj.so.19.

Please help me understand.
