[gdal-dev] EPSG 8.0 Upgrade

[pcreso at pcreso.com]

Extending this slightly - so it can more easily be discovered by less technically capable users, & in binary distributions of GDAL.

Is it possible to have a command line parameter for GDAL/Proj (etc) that tells the user what EPSG version is installed? Perhaps include this information in the -version option?

gdalinfo --version
GDAL 1.9.1, released 2012/05/15 - using EPSG vX.X

Thanks...

Would it be possible to document which version of EPSG is being used by
setting #define (s) somewhere? It would be very helpful to be able to inform
users that a change may occur, and give them access to the version of the
installed copy? I'll look at thinking of a way, but I think this would make
results more reproducible?

Best wishes,

Roger
