[R-sig-Geo] rgdal release candidate 1.5-9 rev. 1000 ready for testing

[Patrick Schratz]

I am not sure if the part with

use --with-proj_api="proj_api.h" for deprecated API

Is of much help since c/p won’t work but the text let’s people 
assume that c/p could/should work.
In fact, a full path to “proj_api.h” is required?

I still do not like this blocker and I still do not know if this 
combination causes serious issues in production or just limits new 
features.

For the time being, using and linking osgeo-gdal (3.0.1) and osgeo-proj 
(7.0.1) works and can be used as a workaround until homebrew-core 
formulas catch up.

Again, since it was maybe caused by my typo a few mails ago: The 
homebred-core gdal version is at 2.4.4 and not 2.2.4.
