Dear Magi

The proj pages have some remarks about polar stereographic projections so it's
a pity they're inaccessible!

I am not familiar with how it is calculated, but I think you must be right.
Perhaps we should have latitude_of_projection_origin in this projection, as
well as the vertical longitude and the scale factor.

Cheers
