I've created a patch adding read support for shapefile measure values:
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2374
If someone could review the patch, I would like to include it in trunk for the 
1.9.0 release.
We're contracted to add shapefile measure value support in QGIS. And this 
enhancement gives QGIS the possibility to handle XYM geometries.

I'm also working on enhancements for the Interlis drivers, but the status 
isn't good enough for a release.

Regards
Pirmin
