My personal opinion is that it's a bit brain-damaged as well. Given that PROJ.4 [3] is free software, implementing a viable free software / open source alternative will probably take a developer-month or so (and I've some simple code which works for me on AIRS data, which aren't supported by HEG quite well.)
