GDALReadTablFile() - swiss oblique mercator

[warmerdam]

I am trying to reproject a file with a mapinfo tab file for georeferencing.
The PROJ.4 form of the projection definition does not seem valid:

warmerda@gdal[722]% reproj KOMB206.tif 
Operation failed:
Failed to initialize PROJ.4 with `+proj=omerc +lat_0=46.9524055555
+lonc=7.4395833333 +x_0=600000 +y_0=200000 +ellps=bessel
+towgs84=660.077,13.551,369.344,0.804816,0.577692,0.952236,5.66 +units=m '.
lat_1=lat_2 or lat_1=0 or lat_2=90


The .tab file looks like this:

warmerda@gdal[723]% cat  KOMB206.tab 
!table
!version 300
!charset WindowsLatin1

NOTE: This is a critical bug for the Mapinfo reprojector component release.

Dear Frank
    What i need do for the makefile(on the path: ..gdal\ and gdal\frmts and 
gdal\frmt\MyHdf) when i add my  new imge-format by useing the HDF5.lib (already 
been compiled ) into gdal, and what i should adapt in the relational files?

I tested this today and the .tab translates to:

 +proj=somerc +lat_0=46.9524055555 +lon_0=7.4395833333 +x_0=600000 +y_0=0 +ellps=bessel +towgs84=660.077,13.551,369.344,-0.804816,-0.577692,-0.952236,5.66 +units=m +no_defs

and seems to produce plausible results. So I think this was fixed some time ago.
