[MetaCRS] Creating a MetaCRS Proj4J project?

All

Some of you may be familiar with the JHLabs Java version of Proj4.  This 
is a worthy effort, which seems deserving of continued support.  I'm 
wondering if there is interest in seeing this hosted under MetaCRS?  If 
so, I'd be willing to take the initial effort of migrating it into the 
repository, and making the first few bug fixes  8^)

My goal with this would be to simply track Proj4 development for all 
technical aspects of projection algorithms, CRS descriptions, unit 
tests, etc.  The hope is that this will minimize maintenance effort and 
learning curve.  There is some scope for improving the purely Java 
design aspects of the library, but I hope this can simply follow 
well-accepted Java best practices.

Is anyone else interested in helping out with maintaining this library?
