Suppling StdParallel1 with CT_Mercator, ie. Mercator_2SP, doesn't work

Description
There is currently no way to specify a Mercator_2SP in a geotiff. The unofficial projection list, http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/proj_list/mercator_2sp.html suggests that "ProjStdParallel1GeoKey" should be used for the parallels of true scale and that a scale should not be specified. When given such a geotiff, the normilization code will drop the latitude and generate a scale of 1. This silently mangles the projection.
I will supply a patch to fix this behavior.
