[OSRS-PROJ] PROJ4 and Krovak projection (Czech Republic)?

[Thomas Flemming]

Hi Markus,

last year I asked the same question, because we need this projection in
our GPS-Software.
I've got no answer, so I figured it out myself. It works, but I'm not
sure, if it is really correct integrated in proj.4.
For me, it is still very hard, to understand, how proj works. Anyway,
this is not my job.

If you like, I send you the c-sourcefile for the Krovak-Projection for
Proj.4.
