 Replying to [comment:3 warmerdam]:

 > This is similar to what QGIS used as a PROJ.4 string, except without the
 +towgs84 string indicating that the datum should be considered equivelent
 to WGS84.  I'm not sure why that is missing, perhaps something is older in
 your QGIS environment.

 Hi Frank

 AFAIK, Qgis uses QGR to create new vectorfiles/shapefiles by calling
 OGR_DS_CreateLayer. The ESRI Shapefile driver of OGR then strips out the
 towgs84 parameter in his morphToESRI() method. At least that's what I
 understand.
