Nope.  Until recently the only thing we used libproj for was to
convert the four cut-line corners of a USGS geoTIFF topo map to the
right datum.

I don't know how many layer rasters on top of rasters.  It's common
for the radar images where you can set one transparent color so that
it overlays nicely without obscuring, but for everything else they
obscure the underlying rasters.

It's more common (on my machines anyway) to overlay vector maps on
top of rasters.
