Hi Peter,
De subject has been discussed recently on the PostGIS list, starting with
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2006-October/013565.html
Currently, PROJ does *NOT* by default take into account the datum shift
between ellipsoides for Belgium (it will do so in a next release). To
get the proper conversion, use the following parameter string:
+proj=lcc +lat_1=51.16666723333333 +lat_2=49.8333339 +lat_0=90
+lon_0=4.367486666666666 +x_0=150000.013 +y_0=5400088.438 +ellps=intl
+towgs84=106.868628,-52.297783,103.723893,0.336570,-0.456955,1.842183,1.0000012747
+units=m +no_defs
The towgs84 numbers are from: http://www.ngi.be/NL/NL4-4.shtm
