I've attached hi/med/lo-resolution mexico highway maps I created with shpssf and ssfgsf. shpcv was not required, but an edit to $GEMPAK/includes/shpprm.h was necessary to increase MAXRECLEN, followed by a re-compile of all libraries needed for the shpssf and ssfgsf builds. So rather than walk you through that process I've just attached the files I produced and confirmed them with $mapfil in mapping programs. I'll add these to the next GEMPAK release with edits to the file names.
