[Proj] Amersfoort / RD New

[Roger Oberholtzer]

I downloaded the grid shift file from
http://www.kadaster.nl/transformatie-van-coordinaten

I am not using it yet. I took one of the sample points from the Use doc
that came with it to see what I got compared to the expected. For example:

Zuid-Limburg:
        Ref:    Latitude:   50.7925849160 Longitude:    5.7737955480
Altitude:    245.948
        Ref:    Easting:       182260.450 Northing:       311480.670
Altitude:    200.000
        Proj4:  Easting:       182225.909 Northing:       311388.163
Altitude:    245.948    98.746 meters from Ref

The reference values are ETRS89. But I cannot think that accounts to 100
meters of difference. My proj spec is:

     +proj=sterea
     +lat_0=52.15616055555555
     +lon_0=5.38763888888889
     +k=0.9999079
     +x_0=155000
     +y_0=463000
     +ellps=bessel

+towgs84=565.4174,50.3319,465.5542,-0.398957388243134,0.343987817378283,-1.87740163998045,4.0725
     +units=m
     +no_defs

Doing this via the C API as I do for many other projections. These are
passed to pj_init_plus.

Would the grid shift make such a large correction?
