When converting from WGS84 lat/longs, (like from a GPS) I use:

+proj=latlong +ellps=WGS84 +to +proj=sterea +lat_0=52.15616055555555
+lon_0=5.38763888888889 +k=0.9999079 +x_0=155000 +y_0=463000
+ellps=bessel +units=m +no_defs

I hope I copied that correctly. I do this from the C API, but these
should be the same.

I did have some data that required the +ellps=WGS84 be changed to
+ellps=bessel, which I think was because of something undocumented that
was done to the source data.
