homann 4b4614f3e7 * Added script for updating the srs.db from the GDAL installation (thanks msieczka !)
* Added a small README on the process on how to do the above
* Change the CRS recognition when reading from projects, so it tries to match the proj4 string if valid. This is a must when the srs.db now is updated
* Changed to read ellipsoid an projection acronyms from srs.db nistead of qgis.db (mostly)
* Misc. clean up of comments and deletion of stale code.

Updating the srs.db
-------------------
The srs.db can be updated from the EPSG codes in the
GDAL installation:
1) Install latest GDAL, be sure to configure with --with-python.
2) Set PATH and PYTHONDIR if installed GDAL in non-standard location.
3) Run 'scripts/qgis_srs.sh > new_srs.sql'. It may take a minute or two.
4) Run 'sqlite3 new_srs.db < new_srs.sql'.'
4) Run 'sqlite3 new_srs.db <postprocess_srs.sql'
You can use sqlite3 to dump the contents from both srs.db and new_srs.db
before you decide to commit.
