[gdal-dev] Call to users and devs - ESRI .prj files needed for testing

[Konstantin Baumann]

Hi Etienne,

maybe you could also use the ESRI WKTs from: http://spatialreference.org/
e.g.: http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4326/esriwkt/

> A related issue is how to find EPSG codes for GEOGCS, PROJCS and other
> items (such as DATUM and SPHEROID) from incomplete WKT (such as ESRI
> WKT).
> Any hints and example files related to that are also welcome.
