David,

I do not believe there is any way to make PROJ.4 use angular units other
than decimal degrees for geographic coordinate systems (+proj=latlong).
I thought that ogr used proj4 to do the coordinate transform? Does that mean that ogr2ogr is converting using it's own transforms? It is converting the shape correctly.

I must say, I haven't seen much need for it either.

Best regards,
