[Proj] WGS84 --> Albers coordinate transformation question

[Eric Miller]

If you're using the API, you have to convert lat/long coordinates to
radians before a transformation.  Similarly, results that return
lat/long return radians.  The API has some constants defined for this
purpose (DEG_TO_RAD, RAD_TO_DEG).  The function pj_is_latlong will tell
you if a projection definition is lat/long if you need to find out at
runtime.
