I am trying to reproject shapefiles that represent Russia (from http://wagda.lib.washington.edu/DATA/geography/world/russia/download.html) from the original:

   The map is Albers equal-area projection Clarke spheroid of1866 with
   the first standard parallel 46 00 0.000, the second standard
   parallel 73 00 0.000, the central meridian 84 00 0.000. The latitude
   of the projection's origin is 60 00 0.000.  Units -- meters.

to lat/long WGS84. I use the following command:

ogr2ogr \
-s_srs '+proj=aea +ellps=clrk66 +lat_1=46.0 +lat_2=73.0 +lat_0=60.0 +lon_0=84.0 +units=m +no_defs' \
   -t_srs '+proj=latlong +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs' \
   rs_polbnda_${f}.shp rus${f}.shp

I would like polygons that cross the 180 degree longitude to be split. It there a way to ask ogr2ogr to do that? What is the recommended way to do it, if not?

Thanks,
Eric.
