Markus, 

I would be willing to play a major role in this, presumably within GRASS 5.1.
In addition to using PROJ.4 as a shared library, rather than including a 
copy within the GRASS source tree, I would also like to iron out a few
quirks about the PROJ-like definition of projections in GRASS to bring it more
into line with the core PROJ schemes (partly modelled on how things are done
in GRASS). 

I would also like to review how datums are handled now in GRASS to see if
the PROJ mechanisms can be used more directly.  

Best regards,
