We had (Openstreetmap Slovakia) good results with georeferencing of
PCL maps using Quantum GIS. Quantum GIS supports many reference
system, projections, spheroids.

> FYI, for the Philippines, some maps of this collection were uploaded and
> georeferenced on MapWarper:

>
> All it takes to generate the mosaic is for people to read the maps
> corners coordinates, and enter them in MapWarper with a few clicks.
>
> This was so positive that they are now considering extending it to a
> collection of more than a thousand maps.
