Markus,

The fact that the PROJCS is "unnamed" is fine.  If there was
a way to know a meaningful user name for the coordinate system
it would be nice to substitute it, but that is tricky.

I see two issues.
  1) The Spheroid (INTERNATIONAL1909) was not recognised, so WGS84
     was incorrected used as a default.  I have committed a small change
     to recognise INTERNATIONAL1909 in CVS.
  2) The Xshift/Yshift were ignored.  I don't really understand the
     semantics though so I am not sure what to change.

If you know what should be done for the X/Y shift values, I would
suggest you submit a bug report.

Best regards,
