RE: [gdal-dev] Setting the spatial reference of an existing shapefile with OGR

Yes. Or... you could cheat a bit. In the case of a shapefile, the spatial reference is written in a .prj file. So technically you can create a fake empty shapefile with the right spatial reference, close it, rename the .prj to have the same basename as your shapefile of interes and re-open it.
