Comment(by rouault):

 Regarding EPSG:900913, technically this is not an EPSG code. In GDAL, it
 is treated as an extra code added to
 http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal/data/cubewerx_extra.wkt. The
 http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal/swig/python/scripts/epsg_tr.py script
 iterates over gcs.csv and pcs.csv, so doesn't find it. We could still
 potentially add a hack in it to add it in PostGIS spatial_ref_sys.sql

 Hum looking at the WKT for 900913 in spatial_ref_sys.sql and
 cubewerx_extra.wkt, I can see there are not identical. In particular
 PostGIS adds a AUTHORITY["EPSG","3785"] node to the WKT... And many other
 differences such as Mercator_2SP vs Mercator_1SP. The only thing common is
 the proj.4 expansion.
