Thanks! Personally I'd happily move this to JuilaGeo, but before I do that
I'd have to get internal agreement at Fugro Roames (who are kindly letting
me code parts of this at work) regarding attribution - everyone likes to have
some credit for making projects happen, and I hope this is just the first of
many ;-)

Right, that might make sense. I'd prefer to follow whatever
convention there is in the wider julia community. An additional
confusing thing is that it's not really clear what the proper name is
for the C library. As installed, it's just "libproj" on linux, and
reports itself as version 4.8.0. Concievably I suppose there might be
a version 5 in the future which would suggest dropping the version
number.
BTW, I'm holding off registering in METADATA.jl at least until the
naming is sorted out, and probably until I have a proper build.jl to
install the library dependency, at least on linux where it's
relatively easy for me to test.

I'm afriad that won't work - the module name should be the same as the
repo name, and Proj.4 is not a valid julia identifier.
