Jeff,

I think Jan's concern is that the transformation does exist in EPSG but
is not reflected in the last PROJ.4 release.  I believe this is fixed
in CVS and I really just need to push out a new PROJ.4 release reasonably
soon.

Jan - I'd appreciate it if you could confirm that:

   http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/proj/trunk/proj/nad/epsg

has the right value.

Best regards,
