[Proj] Ellipsoid data sources

[OvV_HN]

There are more sources with 200+ ellipsoids, e.g. the ESRI software and the 
ArcGIS documentation.
That's not so difficult: about 50+ traditional ellipsoids, and the adjusted 
ellipsoids for all Minnesota and Wisconsin counties, plus the mostly sphere 
definitions for extraterrestrial bodies.

The largest I have ever seen in one place that is published is Georg 
Strasser's Ph.D. dissertation from the 1960s, but I don't know if it's 
available on the internet.  Of course, it doesn't have the ones listed after 
that date of publication.  I think it contained over 200 ellipsoids  ...

I'm writing this from out of town, so I can't put my finger on my copy for a 
week or so.

Because I was refurbishing the GEOD_ELLIPS structure array of standard earth
ellipse constants with its current 54 entries I seem to recall a seeing a
list that may have been longer.  However browsing the normal list of 
suspects
has turned up nothing.

Does anyone have info on a well vetted and comprehensive list of earth
ellipsoid constants.

Thanks.
