Unfortunately, I do not know what value added material has been applied
to *proj* in the GRASS release, but my last release works just fine with:

	proj +init=nad27:403

Admittedly, its not v.proj or whatever, but I do pass it through a
torture test of nearly all the SPCS zones before release.  Scripts
for that test are passed on with the distribution.
