[gradsusr] Projecting un-projected data to Lambert Conformal Conic

[Jennifer Adams]

Hi, John --
The code for 'set mproj lambert' is not perfect; it's incomplete and  
has no settings or controls and 'set mpvals' doesn't work quite right  
with it either. That bit of code was put in long ago as a contribution  
from a user outside COLA. If you open a file with data on a native  
lambert grid and 'pdef lcc', and then draw a plot with 'mproj  
lambert', it doesn't come out as a rectangle (as you would expect) --  
it's "squishy":
