Hi Frank,
Thank you for your answer. And could you tell me what's the rationale behind pj_inv() and pj_fwd() not taking into account prime meridians ? It could lead some people to prefer to substitute +lon_0 to +pm in coordinate systems' definitions, so that pj_inv(), pj_fwd() and pj_transform() give the same result !

Best regards,
Fabrice.
