Just an irritating remark:
This is not the Roussilhe quasi-stereographic projection to be used in
Poland for Uklad 1965.
Example:

lat=52; lon=19; // in Strefa I
lat0="50s 37m 30s"; lon0="21d 5m";
x0=5467000; y0=4637000; m0=0.9998;
// Krasowski 1940 ellipsoid

The real Polish Roussilhe gives:
5621984.4676, 4493939.5305 m
(x,y are interchanged, as are x0,y0; no grid interpolation)

By comparison, the original Roussilhe from libproj gives:
5621984.4747, 4493939.5261
and sterea gives:
5621984.4718, 4493939.5312

Judge for yourself whether these differences are significant.
