NAME                    LAMBERT CYLINDRICAL EQUAL AREA

PURPOSE:        Transforms input longitude and latitude to Easting and
                Northing for the Lambert Cylindrical Equal Area projection.
                This class of projection includes the Behrmann and 
                Gall-Peters Projections.  The
                longitude and latitude must be in radians.  The Easting
                and Northing values will be returned in meters.

This function was adapted from the Miller Cylindrical Projection in the Proj4JS
library.

Note: This implementation assumes a Spherical Earth. The (commented) code 
has been included for the ellipsoidal forward transform, but derivation of 
the ellispoidal inverse transform is beyond me. Note that most of the 
Proj4JS implementations do NOT currently support ellipsoidal figures. 
Therefore this is not seen as a problem - especially this lack of support 
is explicitly stated here.
