The v.subj thing is a hack around for poor attribute support.  I thought
it had been disabled, but apparently not.  I don't think it's worthwhile
to put much effort into it.

Markus, other than grid based transformations, there's already the code in
the coordconv library which will do datum transformations via a couple
different methods.  Problem is, it's not hooked into the general
projection code in gislib, there's something of a mutual dependency
issue with the two.
