As the one who started all that, I will take the blame.  In some cases it does 
not matter whether it is geographic or Cartesian data being passed around so 
I used a generic UV name for a reference of material that was identical as 
far as the hardware was concerned.

PROJ_LIB__ (same as old PJ_LIB__) designates that lib_proj.h is being used in 
a projection routine and the the macros defined inside its area are only 
applicable in those routines.

I think PROJ_UV is only used in lproj.c.

Don't worry about it. ;-)

Can't C material be linked to C# software?  If not, pity.
