Projections request...

Several months ago, I asked about False Northing/Eastings for the Albers
Equal Area Projection.  GRASS currently doesn't allow the specification
of these items for this projection.  Recently I was contacted by another
person who read my previous posting about this subject -- wondering if I
had a solution.

Anyway, a number of state agencies in California have standardised on an
Albers Equal Area Projection that has a false northing.  There is quite
a bit of data available in this projection.  Unfortunately, there's no
clean way to get this data into GRASS at the moment.  I know the proj4
library supports this feature; so, I'm wondering if it would be possible
to implement it?  I've been searching through the GRASS code base, but
am not familiar enough with it to know how all the projection code ties
together.  I know there are many other things on the TODO list, but
perhaps someone familiar with the projection code could point me in the
right direction(s)?

Thanks.
