[Proj] Differences in reprojection between using the cs2cs app and using the api

Hello!!

Hermann code is fine. After a new review, I've found the cause of the
disparities between cs2cs and my code's output: I forgot to set the number
of decimals places in the output file.

Thank you all for your help! :)
