Comment (by neteler):

 Replying to [comment:14 homann]:
 > Talked to timlinux, and the idea with have is if the specfied projection
 does not have an exact match (including +towgs84= )in the database of
 projections, it will ask the user if he/she wants to create a custom
 projection.

 I think so. But:

 > This wont happen until 1.1.0 I'm afraid, needs GUI changes and has
 potential for large changes of projection code needed.

 Understood. But as suggested above: Please issue at least a *warning* that
 TOWGS84 differs (if not happening already).
