Harley,

The .inc files are largely unchanged since the initial release of libgeotiff.
There does not seem to be an obvious algorithm to generate the macro names
it uses from the EPSG database.

I changed the way I generate the .csv files this time, using the EPSG .sql
files for Postgres instead of the access database.  For that reason, I
couldn't use the usual odbc2csv to dump out .c files of the tables.  There
is a script to turn .csv into .c but I vaguely recall it doesn't work right
so I put it off.

Do you really use the built-in .c tables instead of the .csv files?

Best regards,
