 An enhanced version of exportToWkt() accepts options to specify the exact WKT
 version used, if multi-line or single-line output must be used, etc.

+Alternatively the OSR_WKT_FORMAT configuration option can be used to modify the
+WKT version used by exportToWk() (when no explicit version is passed in the
+options of exportToWkt())
