Just have a look in the preferences. It already calls the correct function 
somewhere in main or MapView. Maybe a trySetProjection(String code, bool ask) 
method would better be placed in core (getting projection and asking user 
to switch when requested). Patches welcome.

Getting projections is mainly asking all projections if they know the code 
(getPreferencesFromCode() or toCode() for these who don't have prefs).

Also WMS layers already get informed about projection changes. Currently 
they ignore it. Here some action would be required:
- ask and remove layer if projection can't be used
- switch to projection for layer when possible.
