[Proj] PROJ.4: pj_transform parameters

Hi

On our proj4 installation you should have a directory call "nad". This
directory have some dictionnary of projection that could be used to define
projection parameters. For exemple with the lat/long wgs84 projection you
could use

projPJ src= pj_init_plus( "+init=epsg:4326");

see http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326 for searching your projection
code.
Take care of setting the PROJ_LIB environnement variable to the correct
path for your projection directory.

Nicolas
