 > Would it be possible to ship 1.7 with a srs.db synched with gdal latest
 datum definitions?

 Couple of months ago I have written a Shell script which creates a new
 srs.db based on the output of localy installed PROJ.4 and GDAL:
 http://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/browser/trunk/qgis/scripts/qgis_srs.sh.

 It was used once to update the srs.db in SVN, about a year ago. After
 that, a few manual edits have been done on srs.db too.

 The script would not retain those manual non-GDAL-derived SRS definitions.
 They would need to be taken care of. I guess that as of current trunk SVN
 these are srs_id>=3646.
