The 900913 extension node is important to get the coordinate system to evaluate properly. It is driven by an entry in cubewerx_extra.wkt. The 3785 entry is driven by an epsg pcs.csv entry which does not provide for the override. We need a way of representing this properly from the epsg database or perhaps of at least overriding it somehow.

Milestone: 1.7.01.6.3

I have modified the epsg->wkt translation process to insert the extension node in trunk (r17670), and 1.6 branch (r17671).
