ÚO½¨Ã÷,

There is no file in $GDAL_DATA$ for this, but at the API
level we do have the following functions to fetch a list of
projection methods, and the corresponding parameter list.

I don't think I have been maintaining it very well, so there
may be a few omissions, but it is intended to make it possible
to build a GUI that "automatically" supports all the projection
methods of the current GDAL/OGR.

/* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
/*      Projection transform dictionary query.                */
/* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */

char CPL_DLL ** OPTGetProjectionMethods();
char CPL_DLL ** OPTGetParameterList( const char * pszProjectionMethod,
                             char ** ppszUserName );
int CPL_DLL OPTGetParameterInfo( const char * pszProjectionMethod,
                                 const char * pszParameterName,
                                 char ** ppszUserName,
                                 char ** ppszType,
                                 double *pdfDefaultValue );

There appears to be some documentation on this page:
