Hi Trent,

that's nice trick indeed, thanks. However shapefile as vector can't be converted
to virtual raster.

I thought that it's my lack of understanding ogr2org switches, as I didn't expected
that this is more then trivial task, like it must be possible to represent global map
starting from prime meridian other way then cropping the map on half?
