[PROJ] Adding new projection to Proj4

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Alessandro,

A new projection can be added into the EPSG registry by filing a change 
request at: http://www.epsg.org/EPSGDataset/Makechangerequest.aspx

I have went through that process several times now, to add a new 
projection into EPSG, that is then automatically leveraged by software 
projects, such as PROJ.  Of course it takes time, first for the EPSG 
committee to review your request, and then also for the new projection 
to propagate to all software projects.
