[PROJ] Conda for PROJ

[Mike Taves]

Conda-forge doesn't really go through the release candidate stage
testing rounds (or I haven't seen it), so the final release is what
triggers the process for a new version on conda-forge. This means
there are sometimes new build issues that need patching or
work-arounds, which add to a time lag after the source release.

In this particular instance, there is a new and unknown error with
running nke.gie on ppc64le. It's not worth the developer time to
resolve this issue, as I'm guessing there are very few ppc64le
conda-forge users that need high accuracy in Northern Europe (and if
there are, now is your time to help resolve one of a few issues).

As for OSGeo4W, I've created https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/875
to task these updates.

Cheers, Mike
