* iOS-Shapefile is a proof of concept for reading/parsing an ESRI shapefile (.shp) on an iPhone or iPad
and displaying the resulting shapes in MapKit.
* It's built on Pascal Brandt's intial Cocoa work at http://3dgeo.net/CocoaShapefile/CocoaShapefile.htm
* My changes consist of removing dependency on garbage collection, and
a rudimentary sample app showing district polygons for the Texas Senate.
* This proof of concept doesn't take "holes" in polygons into consideration.
* This doesn't cover how to write or edit shapefiles, since I didn't see much utility for that in my iOS projects.
* I've included an iOS targeted PROJ.4 framework (http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/). To be honest, I don't know
where I initially found this iOS specific build. However, I'm sure you can find another suitable
one for iOS floating out there somewhere if you need to. I haven't made any changes to it.
* Also, it should go without saying that if the shapefiles are already in EPSG-4326 projection, then you shouldn't need Proj.4.
