Extending this slightly - so it can more easily be discovered by less technically capable users, & in binary distributions of GDAL.
Is it possible to have a command line parameter for GDAL/Proj (etc) that tells the user what EPSG version is installed? Perhaps include this information in the -version option? gdalinfo --version GDAL 1.9.1, released 2012/05/15 - using EPSG vX.X Thanks...

It would be very helpful to be able to inform users that a change may occur, and give them access to the version of the installed copy? I'll look at thinking of a way, but I think this would make results more reproducible?
