---------------------------------------------------------+------------------
 When a user loads a raster w/o projection, QGIS (obviously) can not detect
 its projection, so it sets it to either the project wide default CRS, the
 global default CRS or prompt for CRS.

 Imagine a new QGIS user who has a bunch of Arcinfo/ASCII grids (which has
 no CRS) which were created in an assortment of projections.  QGIS will
 magically transforms them all into the global default CRS!

 It would be better to tell the user that the CRS was not detected and
 prompt the user to select a CRS.
