There's a osr.GetCRSInfoListFromDatabase() method in the SWIG bindings 
(binding of OSRGetCRSInfoListFromDatabase()), but it is only exposed for the 
Python bindings currently. 

A new SWIG typemap should be written for the other binding languages, so that 
osr.GetCRSInfoListFromDatabase() can be used with them.
