Comment:

 tested with latest 6.4svn. still happens.
  "ERROR: Can't parse PROJ.4-style parameter string"

 adding a debug message to g.proj's input.c (where the above error msg
 comes from), the problematic string it is trying is:
 {{{
 +proj=wintri +lat_0=0.0 +lat_1=10.0 +lon_0=155 +ellps=wgs84 +a=6378137.000
 \
   +rf=298.257223563 +no_defs +no_defs
 }}}

 (+no_defs twice?)


 from within a functioning Wintri location created using the text based
 location creator (the daily earthquake map in adhoc), `g.proj -j` gives:
 {{{
 +proj=wintri
 +lat_0=0.0000000000
 +lat_1=0.0000000000
 +lon_0=155.0000000000
 +a=6378137
 +rf=298.257223563
 +no_defs
 +towgs84=0.000,0.000,0.000
 +to_meter=1.0
 }}}

 which isn't happy with cs2cs either.

 note +proj=wintri has no inverse projection.
