Hi list,

If I need to add a custom projection to mapserver I'm I correct in
saying I can just define it correctly and add it to the bottom of say
the /usr/local/share/proj/esri file, give it a unique number and then
referance it in the mapfile as follows:

PROJECTION
    "init=esri:CustomNumber"
END

where CustomNumber is the unique number choosen. Is there anything wrong
with this?

Thanks,

Benjamin
