Hi Martin,
Thank you very much for this (note, I am also sending it to GT users, 
where it got originally posted).
DOes that mean that the epsg-hsql jar of GT2 contians an incorrect WKT 
specification of the projection? That should probably be fixed there too...

Thanks heaps for your help, I will test the projection asap,
Martin
