Hi Brede,

I'm experimenting with the osgsimulation example where a plane is
flying round the world.  The plane model works in latitude, longitude,
height and is converted to x,y,z by the EllipsoidModel in the parent
CoordinateSystemNode.  Now I want to replace the round earth model
with a flat Mercator map but the CoordinateSystemNode doesn't support
anything but the ellipsoid model.  Before I make a submission I would
like your comments.

CoordianteSystemNode just provides the WKT string which defines the
coordinate system and the ellipsoid model if one is appropriate for
this coordinate system.  CoordindateSystemNode doesn't support any
processing of the coordinate system, this would require a huge effort
to support.  For this I'd recommend using a lib PROJ, and this is just
what is used in VirtualPlanetBuilder in conjunction with GDAL.
