[OSRS-PROJ] Rectified Skew Orthomorphic...

After going over the omerc code, Snyder and EPSG documentation I
have decided that omerc should be recoded. It was a remnant of
the original conversion from gctp FORTRAN code and thus the odd
symbology. Plus a few hacks by myself through the years that do
not make much sense now.
EPSG and Snyder are essentially the same except for one interesting
detail: translation of the pole in the meridianal plane of the center
of the projection or when alpha=0. Snyder did not take care of
this case in PP1395 so I prohibited it.
There are problems with EPSG #7 but it is better than previous
copies I've gotten. Too many details to list here other than a
warning to beware of its contents.
I have no idea why everyone confuses the issue by giving all
those names to the same projection. Shift the origin and
rotation and make a new name. Bah!
