Comment(by hamish):

 Hi,

 'g.proj -t' work-around in the wxGUI location wizard now applied in all
 branches, which seems to make things better when used with proj 4.8.0.

 please everyone test all ways of creating all types of locations, both
 with proj 4.7.0 and 4.8.0. Don't trust the summary screen, you need to
 confirm the result was as expected with 'g.proj -p' from within the new
 session.

 still haven't done anything about datumtrans=0, my feeling is that it
 should remove all datum transform terms to match its description "Do not
 apply any datum transforms", so leave it undefined even if proj 4.8.0 has
 decided to choose some default terms itself (i.e. strip away the trying-
 to-be-helpfulness).


 thanks,
 Hamish
