Simone, If your are attacking this CRS stuff, could you please make a design 
offering an API for CRS conversions of envelopes and images. 

The imagemosaic-jdbc module does also CRS conversions for the requested 
envelopes and returned images, but I would not swear on it. (I did my best, 
but I am not a CRS expert). 

I would be happy to use your code for these situations since you have more 
experience.
