Hmm, I've been using OGROpen with a directory name instead of filename. 
Then I've been able to loop through all vector data layers (for example 
shapefiles) in that directory. I've sometimes wondered what happens if 
there are for example shapefiles _and_ mapinfo files in the same directory.

I've thought that that's a neat feature since sometimes the layers do 
not have any correspondance with the filenames.
