[gdal-dev] A map conversion problem with GDAL 1.8.0

Hi,
unfortunately this did not solve the problem. I try to better describe 
the problem.
In order to decide if map and dem data files are compatible, 
QLandkarteGT evaluate two strings from such files according to the 
following procedure

...
     char str[1024];
     strncpy(str,dataset->GetProjectionRef(),sizeof(str));
     char * ptr = str;
     OGRSpatialReference oSRS;
     oSRS.importFromWkt(&ptr);
     oSRS.exportToProj4(&ptr);
     strOrigProj = strProj = ptr;
...

if the two strings coincides the two files are considered congruent.
In the case of the two files I'm managing, the following two strings are 
obtained

Map: +proj=utm +zone=32 +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m 
+no_defs
DEM: +proj=utm +zone=32 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs +ellps=WGS84 
+towgs84=0,0,0

As a consequence, nevertheless the two files are compatible the two 
strings are different, so that dem data are rejected.

The question is: is this the only way to check compatibility between 
maps and dem data or there is a better and more robust solution?
