I'll have a look. I'm currently fighting with the plugin class loader. I 
had manually configured the projection to be my new projection through 
the config file, but JOSM wanted to configure that before my plugin was 
loaded, so it couldn't load the class. I then made my plugin into an 
"early" plugin so it was definitely loaded before the 
ProjectionPreference tried to load the thing, but still I got a "class 
not found" error.

Generic proj4 support would be a nice thing to have, but of course there 
are lots of ways to shoot oneself in the foot there. We'd probably have 
to for a list of named presets or so.
