Spawned off of  Issue 39 .

The application should have a coordinate system browser/catalog so that
rather the entering in the WKT for creating/editing spatial contexts, we
can look it up in the catalog instead.

Use spatialreference.org (others?) as the source of CS definitions

Fixed in r164

The cscatalog.sqlite database is currently empty however.

The current, as of this note, authoritative source for (EPSG) CS definitions is
available here:

http://www.epsg.org/databases/Discv6_17.html

I can't find the docs on how to go from this normalized structure to WKT, but perhaps
you can reverse-engineer it from this, or from the OGR equivalent?  Looks kinda
snarly though...

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/01+CRS+Helper+Class

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/trunk/gdal/ogr/ogr_spatialref.h

The PostGIS CS listing may also get you a fair part of the way there?

Jackie,

Take a look at: http://code.google.com/p/tf-net/

It utilizes several CRS management classes and can get back and forth WKT. If you 
need to cope with IGeometry go after: http://code.google.com/p/tf-
