Description (last modified by nicolaslelong)

In method TABFile::GetSpatialRef, on line 1037, the following statement uses atof to convert the SRS_UA_DEGREE_CONV string to double. 

    m_poSpatialRef->SetGeogCS( "unnamed",
                               szDatumName,
                               pszSpheroidName,
                               dfSemiMajor, dfInvFlattening,
                               pszPMName, dfPMOffset,
                               SRS_UA_DEGREE, atof(SRS_UA_DEGREE_CONV));

This causes problems when the current locale has not "." as the decimal separator (results in 0 instead of 0.0174532925199433)

Fix ::

Simply replacing atof with CPLAtof solves the problem.

The proposal seems reasonable to me. Daniel, who should do this?

I can take care of this one. There are many uses of atof in the code... but I don't think we have to convert everything to CPLAtof
