Make the WKT parser tolerant to Oracle syntax
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOT-1164
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-1164
             Project: GeoTools
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core referencing
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0, 2.4.0
            Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
         Assigned To: Martin Desruisseaux
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.4.M0


Oracle uses a WKT syntax slightly different than the standard one, documented 
there:

http://geoapi.sourceforge.net/2.0/javadoc/org/opengis/referencing/doc-files/WKT.html

The main difference is that Oracle doesn't enclose the Bursa-Wolf parameters 
into a {{TOWGS84}} element. Instead, the numbers are inserted straight into the 
{{DATUM}} element. Example:

{noformat}
PROJCS["Datum 73 / Modified Portuguese Grid",
  GEOGCS["Datum 73",
    DATUM["Datum 73 (EPSG ID 6274)",
    SPHEROID["International 1924 (EPSG ID 7022)", 6378388, 297],
    -231, 102.6, 29.8,
     0.6149999999999993660366746131394108039579,
    -0.1979999999999997958947342656936639661522,
     0.8809999999999990918346509498793836069706,
     0.99999821],
    PRIMEM["Greenwich", 0.000000 ],
    UNIT["Decimal Degree", 0.01745329251994328]],
  PROJECTION["Modified Portuguese Grid (EPSG OP 19974)"],
  PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin", 39.66666666666666666666666666666666666667],
  PARAMETER["Central_Meridian", -8.13190611111111111111111111111111111111],
  PARAMETER["Scale_Factor", 1],
  PARAMETER["False_Easting", 180.598],
  PARAMETER["False_Northing", -86.99],
  UNIT["Meter", 1]]
{noformat}

This task is about making the WKT parser tolerant to the non-standard Oracle 
way to defines Bursa-Wolf parameters, if an only if a {{TOWGS84}} element is 
not presents in the WKT.
