 Unfortunately r15361 have introduced one huge problem: all layers with
 correct WGS-84 prj definition are recognized as the 'EPSG:4148 -
 Hartebeesthoek94' crs. It can be really confusing and annoying for users
 and I believe we can't release 1.7 with it. Especially if it will be the
 last release of the 1.x series.

 What about trying to find the exact definition and then fallback to the
 less restrictive comparision?
