[MetaCRS] Fwd: [ol3-dev] proj4js

[Andreas Hocevar]

Ok, I went ahead and moved my fork to http://github.com/proj4js/proj4js. If
MetaCRS folks are unhappy with this move, we can easily move the repository
to the metacrs organization. @Mike, I also made you an owner of the proj4js
organization.

@Calvin, I merged your pull request, because I think it is a good starting
point.

Regarding Closure vs. Uglifyjs, I like the uglifyjs approach because we can
get along without python in the build chain, and it looks like it will be
easier to create a fancy online build tool this way. I have to admit I have
more experience with Closure, but I'm happy to try something new.

Andreas.
