Sergio,

New projection methods are somewhat involved to add.  If you feel you
must, then look at the many existing examples, and try to replicate
them sensibly.

New ellipsoid names can be added in src/pj_ellps.c.

New datum names can be added pj_datums.c.

Note that new ellipsoids and datums are just defined in terms of the
low level directives such as +a, +b, +towgs84 and so forth.  So there is
generally no critical need to define an associated name in order to use
particular ellipsoids and datums.

Best regards,
