Instead, why not extend the current CRS look up tool to allow for custom folders,
re-ordering or "favourites"?  Ideally, create a CRS Manager app to do it. From
what I've seen most users (ok, maybe just me) won't use more CRS 
than in their "recently used list" --which works well for me :)

Otherwise, your proposal seems to assume, you're going to have re-write 
all the search/lookup and "custom CRS creation" functions instead.  Ouch.

My two cents worth, or even less,
