Survex Library Progress

Olly,

I have been working on a C++ interface to survex.  Currently it runs,  
but produces wrong data.  Hopefully, I'll have a working version by  
the end if this week.   I  make small modifications to survex source  
code to compile C++ interface.  Also, survex uses many extern  
variables and functions.  These variables will pollute the namespace  
of any programs that uses the library.   The interface is a "complete  
hack" and needs lots of testing. Are you interested in adding the  
interface to the survex project?

The library's first version will support:
	Normal data (tape, compass, back compass, clino and back clino)
	Loop Closure

Next version:
	Fixed points
	Error handling
	Loop closure handling

Wish List:
	Reading/Writing .3d files
	Reading/Writing .plt files
	Reading .svx files and processing them
	Reading .DAT .MAK
