Hi,

I have found these differences between proj.4 versions that I don't find  
any documentation referring them. There is one FAQ  
http://proj4.org/faq.html#why-do-i-get-different-results-with-4-5-0-and-4-6-0  
entry but is about differences between 4.5.0 and 4.6.0, whilst this is  
between 4.8 and 4.9.

The first one (between A1 and B1) is specially more troublesome because is  
the example provide in the cs2cs doc page  
(http://proj4.org/apps/cs2cs.html) that agrees with 4.8.0 and not with  
4.9.2
