Can I reproject WMS service using cgi parameters?

Hi all,
I am struggling trying to get a local WMS mapservice (local one with
data in EPSG:4326) to be reprojected on the fly into a projection for
which no EPSG code exists (Winkel Triple). But I am not sure whether
this is possible (since there is not EPSG code for Winkel Triple I
cannot add a WMS_SRS in the layer properties).
What I am trying to do is add onto the url for the map request:
"proj=wintri&ellps=WGS84&lat_1=50&units=meters&BBox=-16000000,-10000000,16000000,10000000"
The result is the map in EPSG:4326 projection though zoomed out greatly.
After changing the bounding box to -180,-90,180,90 I get my 'normal'
lat/lon map though not in the projection I wish.
Could someonelet me know if what I am trying is possible at all? Thanks
ahead!
cheers,
Mark
