Thomas,

It seems like what you would want is a rubber sheeting transform
of some kind based on a bunch of reference points.  Two reference
points wouldn't give you much information.  PROJ.4 does not
address this issue.  I do have such a capability in GDAL -
underlying transformations based on reference points and a way
of applying it to resample rasters.

Best regards,
