1.  I do most of my work on Linux and I was not satisfied with the build system
provided by NGIS for their GeoTrans product.  It works, it but does not install
the headers and libraries and it is clunky besides.

2.  This package is merely GeoTrans 3.4 ported to an Automake build system.  I
have not otherwise modified it except to fix bugs as noted in ChangeLog.

3.  I use GeoTrans in my own work and find it handy, not least because of its
support for many map projections and coordinate systems.  GeoTrans dates from
the mid-90's when secure programming was just a small blot on a distant
horizon.  If security and safety are important concerns then beware.  I have
never had a problem but maybe I am just lucky.

4.  This package was developed and tested on Linux using the GNU compiler. I
don't know what will happen if compiled on other UNIXs.  If you trust
autoconf, then it should just work ;=).

5.  If you want the lib and doc dirs to have the Geotrans version number in it
(eg /usr/local/lib64/geotrans3.4) then at configure time specify the lib dir something
like this:  --libdir=/usr/local/lib64/geotrans3.4.  Similarly for the doc
dir.  I couldn't figure out how to make automake do this and finally decided
that it was not worth pursuing.

6.  The uninstall target works but make must be run from the same directory
in which geotrans was built and installed.

7.  There are several useful and edifying documents in the docs directory.

8.  Programs built with Geotrans require the MSPCCS_DATA environment variable to be
set to the location of its data files, one of which is 3_param.dat, see docs/MSP_Geotrans_Users_Guide.pdf.
