Comment(by strk):

 The "hardcoded" values currently supported by GetProj4String (and
 _BestSRID) are:

  #. 60 for UTM North
  #. 60 for UTM South
  #.  2 for North pole
  #.  2 for South pole
  #.  1 for World mercator

 We could lay them out in a reserved 999xxx space with the following
 schema:

  #. 999000 for World Mercator
  #. 999001 to 999060 for UTM North (zone: 1 to 60)
  #. 999061 for Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area North Pole
  #. 999062 for Polar Stereographic North
  #. 999101 to 999160 for UTM South (zone: 1 to 60)
  #. 999161 for Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area South Pole
  #. 999162 for Polar Stereographic South
