[MetaCRS] Proj4js: Converting from EPSG:4326 -> EPSG:28193 fails

[Josh Rosenthal]

Hi Mike,
Thanks a lot.  I couldn't figure out if I was doing something wrong or...
 In any case, you said 'yet'.  Is there a timeline as to when we could
expect cassini projections to be supported, or do you have any other
suggestions as to how to convert coordinates to/from that?  Curiously, it
appears as though spatialreference.org does support those reprojections,
though I'm not sure what the back end is over there.

In any case, any advice would be welcome,

Thanks,

Josh
