GDAL and GRASS use proj4 for reprojection, but proj4 does not support these
rotated spheres where the latitude origin for a longlat projection is not
0. The easiest solution is to use a different data source. Otherwise you
would have to write a reprojection routine for such rotated spheres. The
source code of gdalwarp or r.proj could be used as a template.
