support pandas Series as input for lat/lon -> x/y conversion

Start by reproducing the failure at the map_katins(df["lon"], df["lat"]) entry point and compare it with the working .values calls, using the Basemap 1.0.7 context provided. Trace the conversion into the Basemap projection call and identify the existing regression-test location; done means pandas Series inputs convert without the RuntimeError while existing array inputs continue to work.

Using pd.Series() as input for lat/long -> x/y conversion does currently raise a RuntimeError:

x,y = map_katins(df["lon"], df["lat"])
RuntimeError                              Traceback (most recent call last)

     15 #    map_katins.plot(x, y, "ro", markersize=10)
     16 x,y = map_katins(df["lon"].values, df["lat"].values)
---> 17 x,y = map_katins(df["lon"], df["lat"])
     18 map_katins.plot(x, y, "o", color="grey", markersize=5)
