[Even Rouault]

You may want to try the following trick if you only have to deal with point 
geometry.

If you use the BNA driver as an output of ogr2ogr, by doing :
"ogr2ogr -f BNA -dsco MULTILINE=NO output.bna input"

you will get a file that can be read as a CSV file in Excel, with the 
coordinates in 2 columns. The last 2 columns contain the X and Y coordinates.

like :
"Tropical","-13.4",1,138.5000000000,-13.4000000000
"Tropical","-13.9",1,141.3000000000,-13.9000000000

Best regards,
Even
