Yep. Projection code is in what is currently 'trunk', which will become
2.6 reasonably soon. http://openlayers.org/dev/lib/OpenLayers.js and
/dev/examples/* are running a 'current' checkout, always.
http://dev.openlayers.org/nightly/OpenLayers.js is running a trunk build
from 1AM eastern, always. http://openlayers.org/api/OpenLayers.js is
running the most recent stable build (and getting to a stable build is a
long process for us).

I think everything you've done is the same way I would go about doing
it, so at the very least you're not too far off the mark :)
