[PROJ] Supported geographical coordinate formats

[Charles Karney]

One major usability issue with PROJ is that the hemisphere designators
NESW *only* specify the sign of the coordinate.  Thus it's easy for
10W to be interpreted as lat = -10.  Fixing this would required some
replumbing of PROJ since the two horizontal components would need to
be decoded together.
