I stand corrected.

This page (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/Shapefile+Plugin)
documents a key you can use to disable the creation of the spatial
index. So that is one file you can opt out of - the others are useful
information that is not duplicated anywhere else. I know many
organizations have a default projection that they just assume for all
their data - are you in a similar situation?
