Hi Stephan,

Sorry... I hadn't even noticed that this got dropped along the way.  I
don't use datum shifting myself.

As a reminder, here's what README.NADUS says:

: To build, and install proj with US NAD83/NAD27 datum shifting support, it
: is necessary to place these in the proj/nad directory before configuring,
: building, and installing proj.
: 
: These files should work with pretty much any version of PROJ.4, but are
: known to work with PROJ 4.3.x and PROJ 4.4.x.

So we should add these to the alioth archive and rebuild a package.
