[Proj] rHEALPix new parameters

[Michael Speth]

Hi Frank,
There are 4 errors that I want to generate which are only in the inverse 
projections and not the forward.  However, the E_ERROR directive seems 
to only work in the ENTRY and SETUP functions (because it returns an int).

 From looking at proj.c, the forward or inverse functions are called 
after the setup code which includes the ENTRY0; I think that I am unable 
to check in the ENTRY0 directive for the error conditions for inverse 
projections.  Is this correct?

So should I use the I_ERROR directive in this case?  If so, it doesn't 
seem to allow for entering errno values (its defined as -20).  Can I 
create a new directive similar to E_ERROR(err) but for I_ERROR?

Thanks
