[Proj] Getting Proj information after pj_init has been thrown

[Till]

Yes, but this 'segregation' is actually hard to achieve since windows.h is
implicitly somewhere used but not in an obvious way, as long as a project
may rely on a couple of different library includes (like ours) and probably
altering the way it is done, may bring some side effects we'd like to avoid.

On the concerns, I may understand that internal access to the whole PJ
structure is not encouraged (although I think it should be available as
"read only", at least).
My feeling is one may however want to be able to access basic initialization
data that have been generated out of the initialization (like major/minor
axis, etc.) that we could just implement adding a pj_info(char*info)
retriever tool or some pj_getMajor/MinorAxis whatever.

Many thanks for considering this request.

Till,

One option is to segregate the use of projects.h in a source file that does
not include windows.h and dependent stuff.  Then you can directly access
into the PJ structure.

Generally speaking internal access to the PJ structure is not encouraged.
