Frank,

great work (as usual)! This also closes the bug report
 http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557

The user defined datum (+towgs84=-104.1,-49.1,-9.9,0.971,-2.917,0.714,-11.68')
is eaten and not preserved, but maybe it cannot be kept.

Thanks for the quick fix (I'm going to teach GIS using these
data later this week).

Best regards,

 Markus Neteler
