My posting with subject "Re: [Proj] OSGB36", dated 2006-01-13, contained the
following addendum:

"
By the way, in my previous email with subject "Re: [Proj] proj and Dutch RD"
I forgot to mention that the datum transformation parameters are coordinate
frame parameters, so the signs of the r's should be reversed if you want to
use the parameters for a position vector transform like PROJ.4's.

Sorry, some information comes in parts, even not 'thread safe'!
