[Proj] proj4 api issue converting between state plane and wgs84

[Mikael Rittri]

According to http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/wiki/pj_transform ,

  "geographic locations need to be passed in radians, 
   not decimal degrees, and will be returned similarly."

I haven't heard that this differs between the APIs.

Assuming these are in radians, multiplication by 180/pi gives

Longitude: -102.4357 (decimal degrees)
Latitude: 38.2595

which is in Colorado, but quite near Kansas. I think you didn't
give the projected coordinates of the test point, so I can't
see if the radians-to-degrees conversion is all that is missing.

Well, I tested out the same code base in with a wrapper for c# in proj4 and
it works fine.  I am going to process it on the server instead.  If anybody
knows why this didn't work in the Proj4 C API, I would still love to know.
