Which module name do you think would be preferable? "sis-shapefile" or
something like "sis-esri" (or "sis-esri-formats", etc.) ? The later
would keep room for future ESRI formats in the same module. I'm neutral
on this topic, this is up to you.

Those formats are common in ESRI shops, as well as Shapefiles. I am
not sure if they share common code because the formats are proprietary
and undocumented. The one I left off was ArcSDE but it may be good to
support that in the future with an API.
Here is a good summary of the different ones.

GDAL works with these formats (with varying degrees of functionality)
as described below in the links to the GDAL documentation.
