OOC, how do you configure proj for RD? I am using this (WGS84 Lat/Long
is the source) in the C-API:

 "+proj=sterea "
 "+lat_0=52.15616055555555 "
 "+lon_0=5.38763888888889 "
 "+k=0.9999079 "
 "+x_0=155000 "
 "+y_0=463000 "
 "+ellps=bessel "
 "+towgs84=565.040,49.910,465.840,-0.40939,0.35971,-1.86849,4.0772"
 "+units=m "
 "+no_defs"

I just want to verify that nothing has gone wrong in my library. Bit rot
and all that.

Is there a good (official?) set of test data for RD? Something that has
WGS84 lat/longs, and the corresponding RD northings/eastings.  I can
never have too many tests!
