WKT coordinate system string (PRJ) to PROJ.4
Hello, is there any R-level way to convert a WKT/PRJ *coordinate system* string to PROJ.4 used by sp/rgdal? (Previously I've written out to SHP/PRJ, and read back in with rgdal, but that's obviously a bit naff.) (I know you can rgeos::readWKT and wkb::readWKB for *geometry*). Cheers, Mike.
