[Proj] Google Mercator Projection

[Jose Gonçalves]

You can't mix "+a=6378137 +b=6378137" and "+datum=WGS84".
The control +datum implies an ellipsoid, which will conflict with the
definition of the sphere. Presumably the behaviour of the program is to
consider the last to be specified.

The conversion from WGS84 geographic coordinates to Google Mercator in the
command line does not need CS2CS. It can be done with PROJ, since it doesn't
involve a datum transformation:

echo -5.625 52.4827802220782 | proj +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +proj=merc
-626172.14      6887893.49
