hi jeff:

we havent developed much of the geotiff writer since i worked on it long 
ago. it can only do a few projections. however, tom kunicki (was at 
usgs, now at boundless) developed a very extensive library, and our 
intention is to make an optional module for cdm with it. i havent had 
time to look at it closely; i can forward info on it if you want to 
evaluate it for your purposes.
