I'd like to understand the existing options to provide the CH1903+ to CH1903
as an easy call to proj4 lib, so that any proj4 client would be able to do
that transformation w/out fiddling too much (with chains of transforms).

I had the impression that the IGNF init file had the same aim (for Franch
projections), but I'm probably wrong.
