Add ability to manually select UTM Zone #9

Hi! Thanks for making ShrimpGIS, it's been very useful for me.

I work in London, which happens to have a UTM Zone boundary running right through it. This results in difficulties when working with areas that run right across the boundary. Many software packages allow for the UTM Zone to be manually selected, which makes things easier as you can ignore the zone boundary and just use the same conversion on both sides, however ShrimpGIS does not which results in a massive distortion for any line crossing the boundary.

If this were to be added it would make things a lot easier for those who have to work across zone boundaries.
