Comment (by hamish):

 * datum name now makes it to 'g.proj -p', great.

 some fine tuning:

  * search by code works well. if I search for the "wgs" datum I see a
 bunch of repeats.

  * trying to make a UTM location:

     proj4string = '+proj=%s +zone=%s' % (utm, utmzone)
 NameError: global name 'utm' is not defined
 }}}

 this needs to be undone:

              if utmhemisphere == 'south':

          else:
              proj4string = '+proj=%s ' % (proj)
 }}}

  * could it ask for the datum transform before getting to the summary
 page? the summary page still lists the +dx +dy +dz proj4 terms which will
 not be used.

  * text line for datum transform option # 1 overflows the right edge of
 the window (..."(May not be optimum for older [chop]")

  * "Datums (select to see descriptions)" - nitpicky: It should probably be
 "Transform Parameters:" not "Datums:".

  * could the transform pulldown list be by +proj4 term instead of by
 number? The number is internals which doesn't need to be exposed. Suggest
 adding '+' to the start of the proj4 term.


 thanks,
 Hamish
