Starting with v2.1, ogr2ogr supports
args X_POSSIBLE_NAMES, Y_POSSIBLE_NAMES which are strings with
allowed wildcards (eg, Lon* ), or you can use field_1, field_2,
etc to explicitly give the position of lat/lon.
It's explained on the driver page. This StackExchange post shows csv to shapefile conversion and included Windows command line syntax for looping over files in a directory.

David, this was my first thought when i saw this question as well.
however, I didn't look for very long but I haven't seen a way to tell ogr2ogr to read columns in a csv as the lat/lon and write those as points to the shapefile. I generally write a csv to postgres as a non-spatial table and then process the lat lon columns with postgis.
Are there arguments for ogr2ogr that can do this?
