Update: now sterea is used in GDAL (1.3.2) and PROJ (4.5 beta) for 14 European
stereographic grids (18 listed below, but 4 are duplicate "deprecated"):

$ grep -B1 '+proj=sterea' /usr/local/share/proj/epsg | awk '/^#/ {print} /^</
 {print $1" "$2}'

# NAD83(CSRS98) / New Brunswick Stereo (deprecated)

# Pulkovo 1942(58) / Poland zone II
<2172> +proj=sterea
# Pulkovo 1942(58) / Poland zone III

g.setproj should support sterea.
