Robert / Rob,

I've been kicking around the idea for xcsv based tracks and routes for too long
now.  I have a (huge) patch that I've been sitting on that enables 
reading/writing
csv tracks and routes those that are xcsv definable.  Unfortunately, Ozi routes
don't fit into that framework and I'm severely lacking enough examples of 
other
CSV based track/route formats to make committing the patch worth my while.

With that said, I've cranked out about 50% of a new stand-alone ozi module
that will handle waypoint, track and route file conversions.  The
mapsource -> ozi conversion for tracks seems to be quite popular for some
reason.

Expect it to hit the code list in the next day or so after I test it a bit 
and finish up
duplicating all the XCSV command-line opts into the new module.

Regards,

Alex
