-
-PROJ is a generic coordinate transformation software, that transforms
-coordinates from one coordinate reference system (CRS) to another. This
-includes cartographic projections as well as geodetic transformations.
-
-For more information on the PROJ.4 project please see the web page at:
-
-    http://proj4.org/
-
-The PROJ.4 mailing list can be found at:
-
-    http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/proj
-
-See the NEWS file for changes between versions.
-
-The following command line utilities are included in the PROJ package:
-
-    - proj, for cartographic projection of geodetic coordinates
-    - cs2cs, for transformation from one CRS to another CRS.
-    - geod, for geodesic (great circle) computations.
-    - cct, for generic Coordinate Conversions and Transformations.
-    - gie, the Geospatial Integrity Investigation Environment.
-

-
-UNIX/Linux build and installation:
----------------------------------
-
-FSF's configuration procedure is used to ease installation of the
-PROJ system.
-
-The default destination path prefix for installed files is /usr/local.
-Results from the installation script will be placed into subdirectories
-bin, include, lib, man/man1 and man/man3.  If this default path prefix
-is proper, then execute:
-
-    ./configure
-
-If another path prefix is required, then execute:
-
-    ./configure --prefix=/my/path
-
-In either case, the directory of the prefix path must exist and be
-writable by the installer.
-
-After executing configure, execute:
-
-    make
-    make install
-
-The install target will create, if necessary, all required sub-directories.
-
-
-Windows build and installation:
--------------------------------
-
-PROJ can be built with Microsoft Visual C/C++ using the makefile.vc
-in the PROJ directory.  First edit the PROJ\nmake.opt and modify
-the INSTDIR value at the top to point to the directory where
-the PROJ tree shall be installed. If you want to install into
-C:\PROJ, it can remain unchanged.
-Then use the makefile.vc to build the software e.g.:
-
-    C:\> cd proj
-    C:\PROJ> nmake /f makefile.vc
-    C:\PROJ> nmake /f makefile.vc install-all
-
-Note that you have to have the VC++ environment variables, and path
-setup properly.  This may involve running the VCVARS32.BAT script out
-of the Visual C++ tree.
-
-The makefile.vc builds proj.exe, proj.dll and proj.lib.
-
-
-Distribution files and format.
-------------------------------
-
-Sources are distributed in one or more files.  The principle elements
-of the system are in a compress tar file named `PROJ-x.y.z.tar.gz' where
-"x" will indicate major release number, "y" indicates minor release
-number and "z" indicates the patch number of the release.
-
-In addition to the PROJ software package, a distribution of datum
-conversion grid files is also available. The grid package is
-distributed under the name `PROJ-datumgrid-x.y.zip', where "x" is the
-major release version and "y" the minor release version numbers. The
-grid package can be downloaded from the PROJ.4 website.
