[gdal-dev] Compoundcurve to DXF

[Barry DeZonia]

I am not volunteering at the moment but maybe I could someday.

- Long ago I used to write 2d and 3d geometry translators for DXF files.
- I am good at math.
- I have contributed to gdal (some changes to the Java bindings).
- I used to be a C++ developer.

In order to do this I would need to learn a lot about which parts of
gdal need to be touched and I'd need modern specs for the DXF format.
I also would need someone to chime in on how big a job this is. If
qGis had a reference implementation of code that would simplify things
a lot. Finally I'd need the free time to work on this which I just
don't have at the moment. Maybe in the winter.
