ESRI authored shapefiles usually contain .prj files with subtle variants in names and ids for projection parts. Node-srs should handle these by falling back from an initial parse failure and trying a second time to parse after prepending `ESRI::` to the string, which triggers in ogr special support for esri variant projection formats.

It appears that in recent millstone/node-srs refactoring for TileMill 0.5.x this broke.
