Hi Recai. I have several requests of this kind. "Want to import/export to 
comma separated text" or "XML". So one option is to extend elconv to handle 
all kind of conversions 1.x -> 2.x, 2.x -> CSV, 2.x -> XML. An alternative 
would be to write some awk/perl scripts as you noted. The disadvantage of 
this solution would be that they rely on the installation of awk/perl which 
is not given on windows systems. But nevertheless, if anyone volunteers to 
write a conversion tool, I would be happy to include it in the distribution. 
If not, I can put it into elconv.c, but that could take until June, given my 
current work load.
