Comment:

 Without a native SRTEXT handler, this isn't going to happen. Remember that
 shp2pgsql has no access to the spatial_ref_sys table so it would have to
 handle the SRTEXT in the .prj file itself. Basically, if we make shp2pgsql
 depend on OGR, then we could do it. At which point... maybe we drop our
 shp2pgsql code more-or-less entirely and replace it with an OGR-based
 loader?
