Which does almost nothing. The key aspect of reprojecting is the setting
of two parameters in addition to this one:
  * maxExtent - OpenLayesr.Bounds object, left, bottom, right, top of
    extent of data
  * maxResolution - number of map units per pixel at most zoomed out.
    "auto" works as a wawy to set this if you don't know what it should
    be set to.
