Yes, I have that as well, and it was really simple to use it. But,  
what I would like is a general library of code that OPeNDAP can adopt  
so that we can do two things:

1. Not write (re)projection code ourselves; and
2. Build up knowledge within the group so that we don't each spend  
time (re)learning the same stuff.

This just seems like such a basic problem, it's hard to believe  
everyone codes these themselves.

Maybe I just need to print the libproj docs and spend an evening with  
them.
