Topic of "projections" should be broached in the how-to-guide #13

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

Shapefiles are unprojected data.  For many users this means an extra step after 
pyshp has run.  A few words about common projections and what "good" coordinate 
data looks like will help.

I don't expect pyshp to handle projections, but guiding reads about the issue 
and offering some tips would be nice
