Sorry that I have been so slow responding on this subject. I am buried
with 'regular' work and have not worked on the projection library for
a while. The email below from Paul Thomas motivated me to at least
write this email.

My time is very limited right now and will be for the foreseeable
future. But, I would like to see the projection library (what I have
named CSCS) move forward. I would prefer not to be the one that
replaces the existing Proj.js code in Mapbuilder with the CSCS code
because I am not familiar with the Mapbuilder codebase.

I would prefer to but my time toward continued development of CSCS as
a standalone library (primarily porting the Proj.4 and CS2CS code to
Javascript) and fulfilling requests like the one from Paul Thomas
below.

Obviously getting the CSCS code into Mapbuilder is a critical step. If
someone is interested on working on this I would be delighted. If
nobody wants to take it on in its entirety, maybe someone would like
to collaborate with me. If there are no takers I will try to pursue it
myself, but will not make any promises with regard to completion date.
