[Gdal-dev] Sinusoidal projection for MODIS images with OGR

This evening i tried to load some images from the MODIS Gallery
(http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/) They are .jpg, with .jpw world files.
The projection is described in a separate .txt file, like this:
projection: Sinusoidal
image center lon: +128
image center lat: +38
ellipsoid: Sphere
Earth radius (km): 6371.007181
When i looked at OGR for a way to describe this projection, i found:
OGRSpatialReference::SetSinusoidal(dfCenterLong, dfFalseEasting,
dfFalseNorthing);
This doesn't seem to take a "center lat" parameter, so i'm left wondering
how to tell it about the MODIS image?
Thanks,
Ben
