Hi Hugues,

Thank you and Andreas for committing our patch to repair the
sourth-oriented PSTEROSL logic (as per
http://trac.osgeo.org/csmap/ticket/162).

I've attached a patch to add support for two coordinate systems using this
projection:
- WGS84.Antarctic/Stereo (EPSG:3031, WGS 84 / Antarctic Polar Stereographic)
- WGS84.Arctic/Stereo (EPSG:3995, WGS 84 / Arctic Polar Stereographic)

Namemapper.csv currently points to the first of these,
WGS84.Antarctic/Stereo, but there is no corresponding definition in
coordsys.asc. This patch adds one in using the existing name.

I'm not aware of an open trac ticket requesting these systems, but would be
happy to file one if requested.

We are nearing the end of our release cycle; it would be helpful if you
could approve or reject the patch this week.

Regards,

Paul
