[Proj] proj and Dutch RD

I am trying to use proj on a Dutch project using 'RD'. I have
encountered a problem.

I am trying the command:

	cs2cs -r +proj=latlong +ellps=WGS84 +to +proj=stere
+lat_0=52.15616055555555 +lon_0=5.38763888888889 +k=0.9999079
+x_0=155000 +y_0=463000 +ellps=bessel +units=m +no_defs

This is based on the definition is the 'esri' file for item 28922.

The X/Y values I get are not correct (according to our contact). I have
attached a small set of values, which contains:

	latitude and longitude in degrees (WGS84)

	easting and northing according to our contact

	easting, northing and altitude from cs2cs with command line shown above

I have stuck to cs2cs for this to eliminate any programming error on my
part (other than the command line).

I have a configuration file for this from my contact. It looks like
this, which is pretty much what I wave on the command line. 

	PROJCS["Rijksdriehoekstelsel_New",
	GEOGCS["GCS_Amersfoort",
	DATUM["D_Amersfoort",
	SPHEROID["Bessel_1841",6377397.155,299.1528128]],
	PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
	UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199432955]],
	PROJECTION["Double_Stereographic"],
	PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",0.9999079],
	PARAMETER["False_Easting",155000],
	PARAMETER["False_Northing",463000],
	PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",5.38763888888889],
	PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",52.15616055555555],
	UNIT["Meter",1]]

The 'PARAMETER' items match my command line. I am not sure about the
others, like the DEGREE unit and the Bessel values.
