Jim,

There is some information on GDAL/OGR coordinate system services (in terms
of the C++ API) at:

  http://www.gdal.org/ogr/osr_tutorial.html

You might also find the following python script useful as an example
of coordinate system services:

  http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal/swig/python/samples/tolatlong.py

Also, from the commandline you could use the following to transform
a text file of NAD27 points to NAD83:

 gdaltransform -s_srs NAD27 -t_srs NAD83 < nad27.txt > nad83.txt

Best regards,
