[GRASS-dev] [Proj] EPSG 8.2 Upgrade

FYI

We should review our mechanism of linking to PROJ.4, especially in
terms of the included .csv files.

Folks,

I have upgraded libgeotiff, GDAL and PROJ.4 trunk's with
the EPSG 8.2 database definitions. I have come to the
conclusion that the EPSG Postgresql .sql files are distributed
in WIN1252 encoding, not LATIN1, and so some special
characters - mostly in comments - should be translated better.

Let me know if you see problems or have questions.

Best regards,

This might be a good moment to re-vamp the legal issue regarding the
EPSG license that was raised in Fedora and is blocking the upgrade of
libgeotiff:

They didn't respond to my query. Maybe somebody else wants to give it
another try.
