Comment:

 I created a tiny script to a) flag the srs.db's tbl_srs 'parameters'
 column needing updates and b) ouput the sql update query.

 The script compared qgis' srs.db against the proj4's EPSG file
 (http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/browser/trunk/proj/nad/epsg), the latter
 already synched with GDAL.

 2157 SRS parameters needed update (mostly +towgs84 additions).
