This is a good idea, but a bit of advice: Put your category _second_,
_after_ the lat/lon projection category.
Since the default projection for a map is always lat/lon, the projection
chooser dialog usually comes up with the "lat/lon" category selected.
If a user clicks on the "Category:" popup menu to select a category and the
special category is first, he or she will not see it. It will be necessary
to take the additional step of scrolling the "Category" menu up.
If the special category is second, it will appear as soon as the menu is
clicked, and the user can simply pick it.
This is especially important if the category is for the convenience of other
MapInfo users in your office. If they can't see the category name, they
won't use it.
