Polar reprojection (again)

[Ed McNierney]

What is the file format and geographic extent of the raster image you're
trying to reproject?  Raster data in "lat/lon" projection (EPSG:4326) in
polar regions is rather badly distorted if not undefined or infinite in
extent.

All my data is epsg:4326

Each layer has:

PROJECTION
  "init=epsg:4326"
END

I want proj.4 to re-project this on the fly to a polar view, but it only
works for vector data.
