[josm-dev] How do I add a new projection, EPSG:2924?

[Josh Doe]

Hi Dirk,
I believe I understand how to add it now, though I can't do so as a
plugin because it then would not be available to the pdfimport plugin.

However a bigger problem I have is that there appears to be a
difference in datums between what JOSM uses (WGS 84) and what
EPSG:2924 uses (NAD83). I'll have to first figure out how to convert
between those.

Thanks,
-Josh
