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?
