[Geotiff] 1.5.2 beta1 Release

[Frank Warmerdam]

Folks,

I have prepared a new libgeotiff release (beta for now) based on the new
EPSG 6.17 .csv files.  This release also includes the new "simple tags"
interface so that it is easier to use libgeotiff to process geotiff tags
in other file formats, such as LAS.  For more info on liblas see:

   http://liblas.org/

Other notes in the ChangeLog include:

2008-07-03  Frank Warmerdam  <warmerdam at pobox.com>

	* geo_normalize.c: Fix potential buffer overflow in GTIFAngleStringToDD
	http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2228
	
2008-05-21  Frank Warmerdam  <warmerdam at pobox.com>

	* bin/geotifcp.c: Support for -4 option to set from proj.4 def.

	* geotiff_proj4.c: Preliminary proj4->geotiff function, quite incomplete

2008-05-09  Frank Warmerdam  <warmerdam at pobox.com>

	* geo_simpletags.{c,h}, geo_new.c, geotiff.h: Introduce "simple tags"
	API for parsing geotiff tags that don't come via libtiff.  Mostly for
	use of liblas.

2008-01-31  Frank Warmerdam  <warmerdam at pobox.com>

	* geo_normalize.c: Ignore GCS values less than 1 as seen in the ENVI
	generated file reported in:
	  http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2183

2007-12-11  Frank Warmerdam  <warmerdam at pobox.com>

	* geo_normalize.c: Add EPSG 9822 (Albers Equal Area) support from EPSG

2007-10-02  Frank Warmerdam  <warmerdam at pobox.com>

	* geo_new.c: avoid memory leak in case of error.

Let me know if there are any problems.  If not, I'll produce a 1.2.5 final
release.

Best regards,
