Alejandro,

You could modify OGRShapeDataSource::Open() in
gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/shape/ogrshapedatasource.cpp so that is checks this.

change:

     if( VSI_ISREG(stat.st_mode) )
     {
         if( !OpenFile( pszNewName, bUpdate, bTestOpen ) )

to:

     if( VSI_ISREG(stat.st_mode) )
     {
         if( !EQUAL(CPLGetExtension(pszNewName),"shp")
             || !OpenFile( pszNewName, bUpdate, bTestOpen ) )

Best regards,
