I am not sure of the statements on page 46 about ktmerc being used in
Sweden. The current official method used in Sweden in SWEREF99, which is
described here:
http://www.lantmateriet.se/templates/LMV_Page.aspx?id=4219

I use:

	"+proj=tmerc +ellps=GRS80 "
	 "+k=0.9996 +x_0=500000 +y_0=0 +lon_0=15.0 +lat_0=0.0 "
	"+towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 "
	"+no_defs"

I have tested this with the control points provided in the link above.
The 'Ref.' line is what the northing easting should be. The Calc line is
what I get with the library. Looks really good.

According to http://www.lantmateriet.se/templates/LMV_Page.aspx?id=4766,
the older RT90 also used Transverse Mercator.
