I am afraid I am not a C, or C++ guru like you and Dave. The project I
am doing right now is perl-on-mapscript, and the requirement is to
direct mapserver to do projections using WKT. Since mapserver only does
proj4 ... I am sort of at a loss. I have started writing a perl parser,
but am sure there are more details in the conversion than namespace
changes.

In the long run, having proj4 do WKT directly seems like a nice goal.
That way things like mapserver which use proj4 directly could use WKT
for configuration.
