Hi Joerg,
Do any of those three use Universal Transverse Mercator' (UTM)?

When you say it makes an overide does that mean the projection is hard coded 
somewhere.
If I create a new top level directory how to I specify which projection to use?

If this is specified in a readme somewhere just point me at it.
(If it isn't once I understand it I'll try and write one or atleast start one)
