#3148: Another GUC for PROJSO or can we just figure out the PROJSO?
--------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  robe    |      Owner:  dustymugs
     Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  medium  |  Milestone:  PostGIS 2.2.0
Component:  raster  |    Version:  trunk
 Keywords:          |
--------------------+---------------------------
 So I started winnie's path to using proj 4.9.1 in prep for Windows 2.2
 release with proj 4.9.1 (to take advantage of new geography goodness), and
 raster broke.


 {{{
 passed
   Test: test_gdal_to_raster ...passed
   Test: test_gdal_warp ...ERROR 6: Unable to load PROJ.4 library
 (libproj-0.dll), creation of
 OGRCoordinateTransformation failed.
 Assertion failed!
 }}}


 proj 4.9.1 creates dll libproj-9.dll

 while the 4.8.0 series has libproj-0.dll

 I think before libproj-0.dll is the default unless I override it with
 something else.
  But now of course that default don't work with my 4.9.1 library.

 So


 {{{
 SET PROJSO=libproj-9.dll
 }}}

 fixes the issue, but given I've got to ship to windows users who have
 every GIS thing  under the sun, plus god knows what other versions of
 PostgreSQL/PostGIS running, I'd rather not muck with their system
 environment settings if I don't have to.


 It would be really nice if raster was smart enough to figure out which
 proj it was compiled with, but barring that, I guess I can maybe live with
 a GUC for PROJSO.
