Dear All,       

motivated by Andrea:

I adopted new projection, used often by Numerical Weather Prediction 
community. Proposed name for this transformation is "General Oblique 
Transform" or "Rotated Pole Coordinates Transform". The first name is 
taken directly from proj.4 "+proj=ob_tran" definition.

Code is based on example provided by Jürgen Seib from Deutscher 
Wetterdienst, altered to follow proj.4 behaviour.

My biggest concern in this code is how differences between spherical and 
non-spherical Earth are handled, but as long as this projection is 
applied for computing grids with horizontal resolutions on order of one 
or more kilometres, this is probably acceptable (see test cases). Any 
comments are welcome.

Maciej
