[GRASS5] Problem/bug? with get_ellipse.c

[Andreas Lange]

Hi,

i have a problem with the function get_a_e2() in
libes/gis/get_ellipse.c.

This function calculates some values from the ellipse table and returns
them to the G_get_ellipsoid_by_name function. 

In the ellipsoid table there is a value for the earth as a sphere, where
both axes are equal and e2 (second squared eccentricity) is 0.

But the first function returns always an error on e2=0, so that sphere
is never returned.

My question: Does anyone need/use a spherical model of the earth?
If not, i can comment this value in the table and no fix is needed.
If there is really need for this (really uncommon) model, i'll rewrite
the get_a_e2() function.

cu,

Andreas
