It is really a pity: over some 500 lines of code, OGR's morphToESRI() function tries its best to generate an "ESRI-friendly" WKT representation of EPSG:3035 and comes pretty close.. but eventually, the API aborts layer creation because the generated WKT string starts with "ETRS89_LAEA_Europe", whereas "ETRS_1989_LAEA" is expected.

OTOH: I can imagine that amending the code so that an exact string match will be achieved for most SRSs would really be a nightmare.
