Well, if we're not going to have all of the relevant parameters,
(even if proj doesn't use them) then we should drop all but the
required south yes/no "flag".  I'm ambivalent as to whether PROJ_INFO
should carry more information than it really needs to.  UPS is much
like UTM where little is needed to define the projection (discounting
the ellipsoid/datum) because the coordinate system fairly well-defined.

UTM - North/South & Zone
UPS - North/South
