Calling all PROJ4 genuises

[Chris Hackel]

Tyler, thank you *very* much. I'll have to try to
parse through that and learn the parameters better.

My cs2cs is from the proj-4.4.9 release. I'm getting
an error for the 2nd init:
cs2cs +init=epsg:4326 +to +init=102718
Using to definition: init=102718 
Rel. 4.4.9, 29 Oct 2004
<cs2cs>: 
projection initialization failure
cause: no colon in init= string
program abnormally terminated

I'm very interested in getting the proper proj
environment in order to user the simplified version.
Do you know where I could find it?

-Chris
