Oscar,

With support from Norman Vine on IRC, I have added a
translation of projection method 9829.

The script used to produce the PROJ.4 epsg definition file
now reports the following for EPSG:3031:

$ python epsg_tr.py -proj4 3031 3031
# WGS 84 / Antarctic Polar Stereographic
<3031> +proj=stere +lat_0=-90 +lat_ts=-71 +lon_0=0 +k=1 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=WGS
84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs  <>

This should appear in the next full PROJ.4 release at which point I
will regenerate the epsg files.

Please let me know if you believe the above translation to be
inproper.

Best regards,
--
