Panoply uses the netCDF-Java library to read datasets. When dealing with 
projected grids, it looks for the variable named by the `grid_mapping` 
attribute and the CF specified projection parameters of that variable. For the 
13 projections that Panoply supports, in 4 cases it uses projection code that 
is part of NJ but in the other 9 it uses its projection code to transform the 
grid. The reason for those 9 is that I'd already implemented them for other 
purposes, and the NJ library doesn't do the best job of performing sanity tests 
on the projection attributes that it finds in the dataset.

FWIW, I only started looking through this thread because an issue regarding WKT 
was opened at Unidata/netcdf-java#191 earlier today.
