New Revision: 8748

Modified:
   trunk/qgis/src/app/qgscustomprojectiondialog.cpp
Log:
I am commenting the ellipsoid check out for now because of ticket #1146
In 1.0.0 we should consider doing more sophisticated checks or just
removing this commented block entirely. It is possible to set the
parameters for the earths figure in ways other than using ellps (which
is a convenience function in proj). For example the radius and flattenning
can be specified and various other parameter permutations. See the proj
manual section entitled 'Specifying the Earths Figure' for more details.
