Kevin,

The OGRSpatialReference class in the GDAL/OGR library includes
support for ingesting ESRI .prj files, and converting them to PROJ.4
strings, along with a variety of other transformations. 

This is a fairly hairy process, so if you wish to do it with reasonable
generality you are likely best off using the OGRSpatialReference
to accomplish it.
