[Proj] Creating a Custom EPSG Entry

[Craig Miller]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can just pass in the WKT.  I don't think
you need to actually add the projection to the EPSG file.

I can add:
and
lon = 354.562842; lat = -1.826054;
in the ellipsoidal case, using EPSG coordinate operation method 9823.
Close, but still no cigar.
