Regarding what is listed currently in metacrs :
- proj4js: no opinion
- cs-map: no-opinion
- geotiff/libgeotiff:  heavily used underneath by GDAL in particular, mostly in maintaince 
mode, but can be treated as a technical dependency that doesn't require to be visible from 
users.
- proj4j: no opinion
- spatialreference.org: not maintained in years. http://epsg.io/ would be a possible 
replacement

Agreed that metacrs is probably a bit too ... meta for folks exploring OSGeo-Live content, so 
it could make sense exposing proj.4 as a standalone project.
