The revision history at http://www.gpsbabel.org/changes.html shows it
was indeed added on that date.  It also shows that 1.2.5 was released on
3/23/05, so you'll need a version after that.   

This is where you get lucky and unlucky.  JeremyA and I didn't make
a MacGPSBabel build when we did the beta on 6/08.  So you can't just
download it.  However, you can compile it from source and sneak the
freshly built GPSBabel behind the GUI and it should Just Work.

If the thought of compiling from source just blows your mind, I could
be bribed to put up a Mac build of the binary, but I don't think I can
package the GUI stuff becuase the system I can access remotely doesn't
have all the Applescript Project Builder and such.
