[gdal-dev] Getting SRID from ESRI shapefile

Is it possible to get a SRID code from an ESRI shapefile?
For example, I've got the following:

~ $ ogrinfo -al LC_FIN_smooth.shp | head -n 30
INFO: Open of `LC_FIN_smooth.shp'
       using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

Layer name: LC_FIN_smooth
Geometry: Polygon
Feature Count: 33308
Extent: (-598426.000000, -1172874.000000) - (-583748.000000, 
-1158198.000000)
Layer SRS WKT:
PROJCS["S-JTSK_Krovak_East_North",
     GEOGCS["GCS_S_JTSK",
         DATUM["Jednotne_Trigonometricke_Site_Katastralni",
             SPHEROID["Bessel_1841",6377397.155,299.1528128]],
         PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],
         UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],
     PROJECTION["Krovak"],
     PARAMETER["False_Easting",0.0],
     PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],
     PARAMETER["Pseudo_Standard_Parallel_1",78.5],
     PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",0.9999],
     PARAMETER["Azimuth",30.28813975277778],
     PARAMETER["Longitude_Of_Center",24.83333333333333],
     PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Center",49.5],
     PARAMETER["X_Scale",-1.0],
     PARAMETER["Y_Scale",1.0],
     PARAMETER["XY_Plane_Rotation",90.0],
     UNIT["Meter",1.0]]
Class_name: String (254.0)
LC: Real (32.16)
OGRFeature(LC_FIN_smooth):0
   Class_name (String) = out_of_AOI

At spatialreference.org I found that this correspond to SRID 102067.
But is there a way to obtain this number with gdal tools?

Thanks in advance.
