Well, apparently the glibc maintainer doesn't agree with me (big 
surprise), so it seems that proj should be made so that it can handle 
errno getting set to ERANGE.  I'm not sure what the best way would be. 
I'd be tempted for now just to set errno to 0 after calling atof, but 
that is not very good form.
