 The measurement tools of Qgis allow to choose among several terrestrial
 ellipsoids. Unfortunately, in the case of use of data referable to
 different planets (Mars, in my case) it'is impossible to perform
 measurements since it'is impossible to choose the Martian ellipsoid
 (Martian ellipsoid axes are about 0,5 time the terrestrial ones). I would
 to like to suggest the possibility of choose a Martian ellipsoid.
 Otherwise, even the possibility of manually enter a new ellipsoid could be
 interesting, maybe using +proj4 rules.
