[R-sig-Geo] suppress projection string in rgdal "project"

[Michael Sumner]

Hello, I was delighted to find that the PROJ.4 functionality comes 
embedded right into the rgdal package on the Windows platform.

R 2.2.1, rgdal  0.4-3

I'm using it to convert back and forth from lon/lat to projected 
coordinates - basically I want to sample points from the projected 
coordinate space, but I need to perform calculations using lon/lat - so 
I can't save up the coordinates for one big conversion etc.

I'd like to suppress the printing of the PROJ.4 string when calling 
project(), I guess it's due to this line in projectit.c

Rprintf("%s\n", pj_get_def(pj, 0));

My question is, what's the easiest way to suppress the printing of the 
string in each call?  (Apart from editing and recompiling from source 
myself, that is). 

Is this a simple and sensible feature request?

Cheers, Mike.
