[Proj] *SOLVED*: Creating a nadgrid shift file with GDAL

All excellent remarks, but I'm not sure of nr 1

The shift is from the original ellipsoid to wgs84, so I think the 
distances should be computed from different ellipses. I'l try it out 
next few days.

If you want, I could send you the proj parameters for the Tranchot-map, 
together with the 48 original triangulation points, both in the original 
coordinate system and Gauss-Krüger II, as computed by Rodulf Schmidt in 
1973. You can see a rough georeference (without shifts) at 
http://mapserver.sara.nl/zl/, and the way it did it on: 
http://mapserver/conferences/2007/berlin_fossgis/. I'm certainly going 
to compute a shift file for it, when I get time for it, but if you want 
to try your hand on it, you are very welcome.
