Description 

please have gdaltindex (and whatever other gdal programs write shapefiles)
produce an ESRI-valid .prj file when creating shapefiles.

I think the proper way to do this would be to use the OGR API for writing
the shapefile instead of the shapefile API directly.  That makes it a bit
of an effort.

understood. I'm not hot to trot about it at this point. I mainly just wanted it
on the radar for future development.
